Settlers : New Zealand Immigrants from England, Ireland and Scotland 1800-1945 Paperback / softback
by Jock Phillips, Terry Hearn
Paperback / softback
Description
This book explores the question of who New Zealand's Pakeha ancestors were.
It presents and interprets the findings of a major statistical analysis of immigrants from the United Kingdom over a century and a half drawn from death registers and shipping records.
The book looks at for the first time and in detail such issues as the geographical origins of the founding ancestors, their occupational and class background, their religions and their values.
Did our forefathers and mothers come from particular areas of Britain, did they tend to practise certain occupations, were they Catholics or Protestants, working people or aristocrats?
Using individual examples of immigrants and their families, vividly depicted in the many illustrations, this book makes a significant contribution to understanding the origins of New Zealand identity.
