Otago Settlers Museum

Don't know how recent this website is but I came across it the other day &
thought it might be of interest if anyone has ancestors who emigrated to this
part of NZ.
Mine are there in all their glory - pin-sharp pics of each along with biographical
notes containing quite a lot that was new to me:-

Sorry abt that - ignore link info, I must have had my mind my next physio session!
You can get it by Googling 'Toituosm'.

Otago is known as the Scotland of the South so if you have Scots ancestors who came to New Zealand it would be a good place to start looking.

Ah! Lovely, thanks. Not my folks, but I'm never above living vicariously.

Went there when I was in NZ in Nov but unfortunately my lot were slightly too late to be included in the first settlers info.

I emailed the museum to say how interesting I found it & they passed on my comments to
the person who had provided family info. I've now had an email from him along with
some great pics & an offer of further details. Isn't that great?
