Watched just for interest as I know Carol is a great presenter. Same great standard as usual - informative and never boring!
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.\nChris Green
Fabulous presentation on most complex part of Australian History
So much good information! I have found cousins in Australia, and I will get in touch with them and ask if they have found any criminals who were transported to Australia back then. Carol Baxter is a great speaker, and her slides were well done. Thank you.
It was an interesting webinar. I had not thought to use a Google search of Ancestry.com to limit the amount of information to a specific topic or record.
Excellent presentation. Relevant and concise.
Always astounded with the wealth of information Carol presents and so easy to listen to as well
One of the best webinars I've attended. The presenter was superbly organized, presented all information in a clear manner, and offered a wealth of examples and resources.
