The Hobart Town (1804) First Settlers Association has two membership classes:

1. Settler
2. Associated Person

Settler

Settler Members who are able to trace their ancestry back to a person who sailed from Spithead on 24 April 1803 in the ships HMS Calcutta or the HMS Ocean, who were free or convict, as part of Lt. Governor Collins' expedition, or was a member of Lt. Bowen's party at Risdon Cove, or who was present at the foundation on 20 February 1804 of the settlement of Sullivan's Cove, which became the present City of Hobart.

Associated Person

This membership is open to any person, or organisation, not otherwise eligible for "Settler" membership, who demonstrates an interest in the aims and objectives of this Association.

Membership Application

Applicants for Settler membership are requested to establish their line of descent. A pedigree chart or similar family chart is preferred. Not only does this help to establish the eligibility of the applicant, but assists the Association in recording First and Early Families.
