Happy Australia Day Listers. Grahame, regarding your post re the article in today's Age - I wonder why this research is only being done on Tasmanian convicts. What about all the information we have on this List about Port Jackson convicts? I had a look at the website you gave www.foundersandsurvivors.org and tried to look at the article in the Age but the page is unavailable! Thank you Lesley for the story on Governor Phillip, it is very interesting, I really enjoy reading these excerpts which you take the trouble to type up. Barbara In hot, hot Canberra.

Its still there Barbara - try by copy and paste into the internet as the wrapping around is probably the problem. The article kind of indicates Tassie is first so I thought NSW could be included in the future. I had not looked at the founders web site because of the date. The other interesting thing is that there are no family historians on the Project Team, all academics. cheers Grahame
