Introduction

This database currently covers the period May 1889 to December 1946 and has been printed in alphabetical order. Information in this database has been taken from local periodicals and various spellings of names are generally recorded as written at the time.

The local periodicals held by the Jane Cameron National Archives commence with the Falkland Islands Magazine started May 1889 and continue through to current date. There are gaps in some of these collections. There are also periods when no local periodical was produced.

This database was originally started as a research aid for Archives staff and some extra information has been added by the Archives. Some entries have been checked against official registers and corrected. During World War I and World War II departure and arrival dates were not printed however sometimes peoples’ movements were printed without dates so approximate dates have been used. When looking up double-barrelled and hyphenated surnames check under both. Be aware of variations of spellings of surnames, especially foreign.
