About this webinar
Exploring the life of a convict ancestor can be exciting but also a daunting task. This webinar leads participants through a methodical examination of the records available at various stages of a convict's life from trial through to freedom. After developing a framework for investigation, case studies are then used to demonstrate the various records available and where to find them, including both within Australia and overseas. Issues such as record conflicts and understanding the broader social context will also be explored to more fully understand changes in terminology and record types.

I have just watched the presentation as was away during the original. I found this presentation very interesting and informative. Wonderful presentation.
Have just watched the recording (unable to attend original presentation).....extremely informative and look forward to his next webinars
I have researched the stories for a few convicts, but now I need to go back and check whether there is more information about these convicts. There are so many more resources out there than I realized. The syllabus will also be very useful. Thank you.
Quite interesting. Gave some insights into how closely England tracked the criminals.
Excellent, Andrew is such a wealth of information and a very engaging speaker. Top marks.
Great webinar. Lots a good leads and new ideas for research. Time well spent.
Andrew gave a great presentation on a new, to me, topic. In fact, my adult son came into the room and said it sounded like an interesting topic.
Great webinar
