Here are a few links to get you going with some info about convict records:<br /><br />http://www.convictcentral.com/<br />http://www.convictrecords.com.au/<br />http://members.iinet.net.au/~perthdps/convicts/ships.html<br />http://www.australianhistory.org/convicts<br />http://www.records.nsw.gov.au/state-archives/resources-for/historians/convicts<br /><br />-Maria from Genies Down UnderMariahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17642075483281050695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13949249.post-67977642839072608612012-01-28T12:42:33.169+08:002012-01-28T12:42:33.169+08:00Glad you enjoyed it Rach - lots of great info, hey? I love the story of your great, great grandfather - it would be exciting to find out the full story (and wouldn&#39;t it be great if he was a convict!). Definitely check out Maria&#39;s podcasts, I think you&#39;d enjoy them.Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05178108297108834609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13949249.post-73855417311847550162012-01-27T22:40:06.108+08:002012-01-27T22:40:06.108+08:00Agree! this post is brilliant! I feel re-charged ready to get back into my research. I know so much about my Dad&#39;s family here in Australia, but we struggle to make the link back to Scotland as my Great, Great Grandfather ran away from home (apparently), jumped on a ship and somehow ended up on the east coast of Australia. Perhaps it is more exciting than that and I should be checking convict records... :) !! thanks xxRachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07967438093366537419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13949249.post-72288964354816342672012-01-27T21:30:03.489+08:002012-01-27T21:30:03.489+08:00Fabulous! Maria aka Genies Down Under is a very clever lady (and I&#39;m not saying that just because she&#39;s a friend of mine) - she really knows her stuff!Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05178108297108834609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13949249.post-80947981173039354982012-01-27T21:28:30.684+08:002012-01-27T21:28:30.684+08:00Brilliant!
