Dear all Meryl has just added another page to the AUS-Tasmania Genealogy website, in the Convicts section. It's a short guide that I've prepared, to help new researchers in using the main VDL Convict Department record series. It's meant as an introduction only, and I've kept it as straightforward as I can. Any comments or suggestions for improvements are welcome! The URL for the web page is http://www.rootsweb.com/~austashs/convicts/contrans.html Hope you all have a very Happy Christmas and lots of family history fun in 2006.
