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.
Thoroughly enjoyed this presentation. Scads of information given but no feeling of information jammed into a certain period of time. Very well put together and presented. Bring this lady back for more webinars, please.
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.
So much insightful information and resources!
Brief overview, but comprehensive. Fascinating topic which could fill months of webinars.
excellent! well organized. helpful tips. where to look and how to interpret what you find, which I certainly needed.
Very Informative!!!
good facts to check up and good list of references Thanks
