Hi Lesley and listers, It's a few years since I put anything into the list, however since I started on my 2 sons-in-law, and a couple of convicts who married into my own family, my original 11 convicts has grown to 28. That's what comes of having adopted children. Going through the archives of this list, I notice that it is a few years since we had a convict roll call, so I wondered if we could have another one this year. We at Wyong F.H.G have had an increase in members, and a few have joined our convict group, where we help the "newbies" search for convict ancestors. I have found some previously unknown people who have, in past years been searching the same convicts as I am now doing. Their help has been a tremendous boost to my research, I can start the ball rolling with a couple in the letter "A " Beryl Whatson -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, 13 September 2011 5:02 PM To: [email protected] Subject: AUS-PT-JACKSON-CONVICTS Digest, Vol 6, Issue 175 ******************

Hi Beryl, During the early years of the list I ran many threads and most listers responded. A few years ago I tried again a few times and the response was virtually nil - so I decided not to try again. You can, at any time, post the names of your convicts and the transports on which they arrived.
