A very thorough, helpful talk on tracing Australian convict settlers from the United Kingdom and Ireland across the ocean and through their lives in Australia. Lovely example documents and overviews of the relevant databases in several countries.
Awesome presentation, alot of great information!! Thank you!
Very interesting and well organised presentation. Have recently discovered that a brick wall ancestor may have been a convict and I'm trying to find records to prove or disprove. Kerry has covered some resources of which I was previously unaware.
Kerry did a wonderful job with this webinar and presented so much information for us to use in researching our ancestors in Australia.
good facts to check up and good list of references Thanks
Kerry was so interesting and had great research sources. I’m hoping that her lesson may offer some clues to why I have DNA matches in Australia!
Kerry has an excellent knowledge of this subject. Wonderful webinar. I would recommend this webinar to anyone thinking of researching their convict ancestor. Thank you Lyn
