    Thank you Michelle Patient. Your presentation kept me totally immersed in Family History/Genealogy – beginning to end. I sincerely appreciate your handout with Links/URLs and amazing search tips. For me – the page of Boolean Operators will be very helpful as I continue my own Genealogical Search.

Shackles, shekels and shrapnel: the exodus to the Southern seas
Changes in Britain post the 1776 War of Independence, along with Capt James Cook’s mapping of New Zealand (1769) and New South Wales (1770), led to convicts and marines being sent to Botany Bay in 1787. So began British migration to the Southern Seas. Factors driving various waves of migration (economic, political, family ties, adventure) will be discussed, along with the effects the British Diasporas had on the Aboriginal and Māori Communities and their environment. Tips on tracing those missing down-under branches of your tree will also be covered.
