About
Fellowship of First Fleeters
First Fleet House will be closed for the
holiday break from December 11 2024 and reopening on January 22
2025. We wish all our members a great Christmas and Happy New
Year.
Stop Press: An Additional Website for the
Fellowship of First Fleeters
Arising from a strategic planning session of
the Board of the Fellowship in 2022, an additional website is
being developed. This will be a "sister site" to this website,
and the sites will be interlinked. While some, but not all,
content will be migrated from this site, no existing content is
intended to be deleted from the Fellowship's overall web
presence.
The "sister site"
will be found at
FellowshipFirstFleeters.org.
Who we Are

1968, and since then over 9167 descendants have established their
lineage, and joined the Fellowship. Links have so far been
