Dear Joan, Unfortunately, the reference links are slightly out of date and I suspect they have not been updated since somewhere between years 1997 and 2000. All is not lost: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~fianna/oc/oznz/pasconau.html The Irish Convicts database links can NOW be found by searching using the Irish National Archives home page from: http://www.nationalarchives.ie/ which eventually leads to: http://tinyurl.com/7po58hc above is the short redirection to this much longer address ........ http://www.nationalarchives.ie/genealogy1/genealogy-records/ireland-australia-transportation-records-1791-1853/ Cheers, Tony Moore (Castle Hill, NSW) @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ On 22 Jun 2012 at 14:12, Dasmi1170@aol.com wrote: From: Dasmi1170@aol.com Date sent: Fri, 22 Jun 2012 14:12:08 -0400 (EDT) To: aus-nsw-sydney@rootsweb.com Subject: [ANS] Irish Convicts Transported to Australia Send reply to: aus-nsw-sydney@rootsweb.com > Hello, > > This URL came in on an Irish American list.

Thanks to Joan for the link. It is an interesting read....and thanks to Tony for the updated link to the Irish Convicts to Australia Transportation database. I had not been able to find it on National Archives of Ireland recently.
