Clipper "Shalimar"
Hello Everyone,
With a view to celebrating my maternal grandfather's paternal grandparents' arrival in Auckland from Ireland via Liverpool on 23rd December 1859, I'm trying to trace descendents of some of the other passengers (my ancestors were Dromgools - misspelt Drongool on the passenger list). I'm hoping to put together a series of memoirs (not complete family trees) to publish a non-fiction work in December 2019 (160 years). If any of you are descended from Shalimar passengers on that date and are interested in contributing or have any hints, I'd love to hear from you.
Thanks,
Carolyn
