1820 Settlers Association of South Africa
The 1820 Settlers' Association is a living memorial which perpetuates
the memory of the 1820 British Settlers and is registered in South Africa as a
non-profit organisation. The Association sponsors William Jervois at the Albany
Museum as their resident genealogist and representative in Grahamstown. They
also have a representative in George, who looks after the Outeniqua area, and a
branch in Durban, Natal. Currently there are over 1200 members, including a few
overseas members, who have paid an entrance or joining fee and then an annual
subscription. The Association publishes a bi-monthly newsletter with matters of
interest for our members - fund-raising events - and social functions. One does
not have to be a descendant of the 1820 Settlers to qualify for membership, but
of course quite a few members are! The Port Elizabeth Branch publishes a
calendar each year featuring water colour paintings by their Art Group. They
also have 1820 Settlers Christmas cards with Christmas greetings from Port
Elizabeth which can be ordered from the regional offices. If you are a
descendant of an 1820 Settler, you have an opportunity to own a unique
certificate!! Submit your ancestry details to William Jervois for him to
research and verify.
