Pretty sure you could have come up with something abit more catchy than 'Convicts' on the AUS-CONVICTS mailing list > I am new to this list and hope that someone might be able to help > with a > query about two convicts.

There are other convict lists for WA ( Western Australia) TAS ( Tasmania) and Port Jackson ( Sydney/ NSW) ?? When posting on any foreign list, particulary when you ask where you should look, its not a bad move to give a clue to your location , otherwise you could be easily advised to go to say to NSW State Records out at Kingswood Bye MargM Beautiful NSW Central Coast NSW
