Thank you SO much for posting this information. I’ve just been to the site and found several documents related to my convict ancestor Mary Russell. Am contacting them now to get the reports and how wonderful that they offer the service!

Comment on Weather by Judy WEBSTER

What a great article! I thought I’d covered a good range of topics when I interviewed my father, but I should have asked more specific questions about the weather. As Christmas gifts for my father and sisters, I laminated A3 photocopies of the front page of the Brisbane paper on the day each of them was born. My youngest sister was born during a cyclone, and the newspaper prompted Dad to tell us some interesting stories about rushing to the hospital in those conditions!

What a find! I have a couple of Scottish convicts plus a couple of Scots who may have a dodgy past. Thanks for the pointer.
