A Special Thank You

We extend a huge appreciation to Peter McConkey for his dedication to archiving and researching the history behind the Peter Robinson Emigration. His efforts have been invaluable in gathering the information displayed throughout our website. He also graciously allowed us to share his book information with the community through our platform. Thank you Peter!

We would also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to volunteers Nancy Towns and Nicole Gagliardi for their invaluable writing contributions. Their work on the Federal funding application has been instrumental, and we appreciate the incorporation of their copy across almost everything we publish, including the website, project descriptions, and media releases. Thank you Nancy and Nicole!

We extend our deepest gratitude to all our supporters, volunteers, and everyone who has come together to make this project a reality. Your dedication and hard work have been instrumental in bringing the rich history of the Peter Robinson emigration to life. This collective effort has made it possible to share these important stories and honour the remarkable journey of our ancestors. Thank you for your unwavering support and commitment.
