Hiya, I am new here and am just interested in the convicts that where sent to Tasmania. All of mine where sent to Port Jackson. Regards, Denise . New South Wales.

Hello Denise Is there anything in particular you are interested in about VDL convicts? Several Port Jackson convicts later moved to VDL to live, especially those who were involved in the first settlement of Norfolk Island (many 1st, 2nd and 3rd fleeters). The Female Factory Research Group has a database project - the Female Family Founders Database - which aims to list information on all female convicts who lived in Tasmania - with connections to descendants (see www.femalefactory.com.au/db.htm). The Port Arthur Historic Site has a similar project running for male convicts who spent time at Port Arthur. There are several books published which may assist - see the list of useful convict books we have been compiling (as a list) - http://www.rootsweb.com/~austashs/convicts/con_books.html.
