They later moved to No 77, Kairanga Road; by 1918 the house shown here had disappeared. Identifiable in the picture are: William Chapman (1861-1941 – on the right), his wife Jane (1854-1944 – wearing apron), mother Jessie (in chair – 1822-1903), younger son Will (leftmost of the two boys – 1895-1918) and second daughter Aggie (standing left on the veranda – 1890-1967).

A resource created by Palmerston North Branch NZ Society of Genealogists ++**What is the Palmerston North Settlers Collection?**++ It consists of files of documents, photographs and stories contributed by families about their relatives who lived in or near Palmerston North.

The collection also aims to list all published information about these families, including booklets, newspaper articles etc. ++**What is the scope of this collection?**++ Initially it was intended to include families living in Palmerston North and its immediate farming environs, in the period 1875-1900.
