Fellowship Of First Fleeters

First Fleeter Gravesite Plaque Ceremonies — 1976 – 2009

Since 1976 a key activity of the Fellowship has been the location and identification of graves of First Fleeters. With the consent of the descendants and the burial place administrators, a Fellowship bronze plaque is attached to the tombstone. An unveiling dedication ceremony follows in the context of a descendants’ family reunion.

In certain situations where a burial site is known, but no tombstone has survived, a ‘Commemorative’ plaque is affixed in a prominent location at the burial site.

The Fellowship acknowledges and thanks the late Doug Oakes (1930-2001) FF#45 - FF’s John Small & Mary Parker-who was responsible, as Convener Plaques Committee, for the placing of the first 114 Plaques from 1976 to 2001.

The search for more gravesites goes on.

Meanwhile the following 118 plaques have been placed up until the end of 2009:
