 About
Fellowship of First Fleeters
The Fellowship is an organisation composed of descendants of
those who arrived in Sydney Cove with the First Fleet on 26
January 1788.
Membership is open to anyone who can prove his or her
relationship to a First Fleeter – convict, marine, seaman or
Government Official. Associate and Friend membership is also
welcomed.
The Fellowship was formed in 1968 and since then over 7500
descendants have established their lineage and joined the
Fellowship, and links have so far been established to no fewer
than 185 individual First Fleet Ancestors. There are currently
over 1200 active members.
The Fellowship has established a series of Chapters covering
Sydney suburbs, regional NSW, the ACT and Queensland, and
additional Chapter formation is being encouraged. Chapter
membership is available to bonafide Fellowship Members and
Friends, to provide localised identity and activities.
