OUR ASSOCIATION

The Rope-Pulley Family Heritage Association first met on 23 Jan 1994.

Its aims are :

♦ to be a central focal point for research into the descendants of First Fleet Convicts : Anthony Rope and Elizabeth Pulley.

♦ to consolidate information from the family lines and to share stories about our Australian heritage

♦ to preserve family archives and heritage items where possible

 

Membership is $15 per year to any descendant of Anthony & Elizabeth. We are a Not-For-Profit Assoc. Members receive quarterly newsletters and are welcome to attend meetings. See the Contact Us page to find out how to join.

You can read about Anthony & Elizabeths' lives on the Convicts to Farmers page.

Together they had 8 children, 6 of whom had families. The stories of these children have been included on the pages of this site. Click on a name on the 2nd line of the navigation bar at the top, and you will be taken to the page showing that child's family tree and contact names for the database co-ordinators.

We would like to collect a central repository of family photos that can be accessed by all members of our group. So if you have pictures of the older generations then please contact us.

Many thanks to those who have sent some in already.
