Hi Brisbanites, My convict ancestor is listed in the convict (William Gambrell on the Parkfield ship) records in the State Library of Queensland. There doesnt seem to be a way online, through the STQ to order a copy from the Microfilm which it is on. Looking for a recommendation of someone whom can go and make a copy of his page. (and maybe the first page) I dont want a transcription. Microfilm Roll 91, Class and Piece Number HO11/12, Page Number 41 (23) Will obviously pay what is needed. Thanks Bobby Adelaide http://bobbyfamilytree.blogspot.com www.bobbyfamilytree.com
Hi Bobbie, The State Library of Queensland have an online form for research help at http://www.slq.qld.gov.au/services/ask The wonderful microfiche and microfilm readers at the Qld State Library can now copy the microfiche or films onto a computer and the information is then downloadable to a flash drive for free or can be photocopied for a minimal charge. The QSL British Convicts database was compiled from the British Home Office Records available on the Australian Joint Copying Project through inter library loan from the National Library in Canberra. Alternatively the microfiche or film should be available for viewing in Adelaide at the State Library or any large library or Family History Society. Carol
