    My great uncle was a convict. he was transported in the mid 1830’s to Australia. He was a hairdresser or barber. He became a hairdresser after he received his certificate of freedom after 7 years. John Aspinall married again in Australia and had six more children.

    The Webinar was fast paced, informative and a delight to attend. The references were put up in the comments section so one could copy to a browser to bookmark later. I will certainly be looking for more webinars conducted by Carol Baxtor.

    Great information; well presented. Amazing to be sitting at home in New Brunswick, Canada and attend a webinar with a speaker in New South Wales, Australia. The wonders of technology!!!
