excellent information. thank you
Gave me several new record sets to think about. Great presenter
A useful review of records relating to those convicted of crimes in Australia with good case studies.
Interesting even if I don't know of any ancestors in Australia with criminal records.
Very informative with many new areas to investigate
Excellent talk. Lots of little hints to look into for the searches
Fascinating subject and thoroughly researched! Thank you so much, Kristi, for sharing your great-grandmother's story to show us how to find records I wouldn't have thought of without this webinar. I wish other countries took pictures and kept detailed records of each person's time in prison.
Incredibly informative webinar! It definitely makes me wish there had been time to delve more deeply into some of what you mentioned. Thank you so much!
