Hello Lori,

The Port Phillip Pioneers group of the Genealogical Society of Victoria
have been producing A4 booklets written by members on their particular
pioneer family. They are up to Volume 4, I think. Most families take up a
few pages, and there would be lots of information for your daughter to study.

I would expect that the booklets are for sale at the GSV bookshop in Melbourne.

Regards Ada
