The Port Phillip Pioneers Group has had over 1,500 members since starting in 1970. Well over 3,000 Pioneers of the Port Phillip District, now Victoria, have been claimed by these members as their direct ancestors.
A list of these proven Pioneer Ancestors is at the link below. Those pioneers about whom a Pioneer Profile has been written by a PPPG Member (or are included in a Profile) are indicated in the final column of the list. The numbers refer to the volume of the Profile (currently 1-7).
Please let us know if there is information that is not quite right. This index will be updated periodically. The information is Name of Pioneer, earliest known Event (usually arrived, married or born), Date of event and Name of ship, if relevant & known.
We have many more pioneers listed in our database waiting for those who had descendants to claim them. The 1851 Census states the population as 77,345. This does not include indigenous people of the time.
