Originally compiled as a booklet and photocopied in 1990 by Francie Della Barca, this family history was fully revised in 2007 and made into a PDF book. The Della Barca brothers Luigi and Antonio immigrated to New Zealand in 1897, having visited the previous year, and settled at Rona Bay, Eastbourne on the eastern shores of Wellington Harbour. They began the chain migration from Massa Lubrense to Wellington, with Eastbourne, with its sheltered harbour moorings, being where they established themselves long before the move to Island Bay.
The book contains the story of the family, family tree charts, newspaper clippings and a great number of historic photos which will be of great interest to researchers of Italian history in New Zealand.
The authors kindly consent for the PDF to be available on this website (Digital Archive of Documents on Italian Immigration in New Zealand) with the proviso that it is not to be used for commercial purposes, but solely for research purpuses. Reproduction prohibited, all rights to the authors Francie Della Barca, Cristine Della Barca and Anna Kerr.
A printed copy is also available at the National Library of New Zealand.
