The Group has now published a Pioneers Register of all pioneers who lived in the City of Warrnambool and the Old Warrnambool Shire.
Submissions have now closed. However, as is inevitable, errors and omissions will be found as the Register reaches a larger readership. Such errata can be communicated to the group, either by writing or via the e-mail link provided.
