The Nemea Association was formed in 1970 by people of several villages inland from Cloudy Bay, about 200km east of Port Moresby. Its aim was to gain the return of land which the colonial administration had alienated from the late 19th century on. The association's activities also produced a movement seeking local autonomy. The papers were gathered together and, in some cases, indexed by Mr David R. Milbourne Marsh, OBE, one-time district commissioner in Papua New Guinea.

The purpose of the index, published as Where the Whalers Went, (Robert Langdon, ed.), Canberra, 1984, is to facilitate research into the logbooks copied on microfilm under the New England Microfilming Project organised by the Pacific Manuscripts Bureau in 1970 and 1976. The logbooks are principally those of American whalers and traders that visited the Pacific in the 19th century. With related material, such as account books, correspondence, charts and newspaper clippings. The logbooks were copied as PMB 200-400 (the first part, 1970) and PMB 540-45; 571-580; 671-699; 720-900 (includes the American Board of Commisioners for Foreign Missions); 910-911; 914-915; and 953-958 (the second part, 1976). The index supersedes the Bureau's publication Thar She Went (Robert Langdon, ed.), Canberra, 1979 and includes information on several island groups that were not covered in the publication. These groups are the Bonin, Galapagos, Juan Fernandez, Kermadec, Line and Phoenix groups of islands.

Ekonia Tekoro was born in the Duke of York Islands, New Britain, in 1916 or 1917. He was serving as a Methodist pastor on Bougainville when the Japanese invaded the island. Not being a native Bougainvillean, he was a marked man. However, he eventually linked up with the Coastwatchers and reached the safety of the beachhead at Torokina.

The autobiography comprises 29 handwritten pages and covers the period 1916 to 1979.

Father Joseph Henquel SM (1830-1924), was a missionary in Samoa from 1879 to 1896. He was then transferred to Wallis Island where he remained until his death. His interests included botany, zoology, linguistics and local history. He developed an enthusiasm for genealogical research in France compiling the genealogies of French noble families.

Genealogies of all Wallisian families (from A-F) compiled from oral tradition, baptismal and matrimonial registers dating from 1824, and from regular parish censuses. There are also some Futunian genealogies (not alphabetical).<BR>See also PMB 972, 973 and 974.
