This website presents the historical biography book of Samuel Carvosso, an ‘old colonist’ of Adelaide, South Australia, and includes information about related family members from the period of 1814–1874 (refer to the Cast of Characters).

Also, there is my spiritual journey “59 Years”. You may find it both interesting and helpful.

176 years ago, Cornishman Samuel Carvosso and Louisa arrived in Adelaide, South Australia, on 13 February 1849, thus an ‘Old Colonist’. This book recreates his story, building a picture of his personality, his actions, and his motivation.

Dig into the extensive appendixes section includes family trees and known details about Samuel’s contemporaries, friends and extended family who intersected his life. Insightful fragments about the women in Samuel’s wife Louisa, their daughters, and other women, are included.
