Hi Everyone Returning to the list after an absence of 2 years. I am planning to visit Tasmania shortly and want to know what records can be found that I do not already have. I have the 'Conduct records' Description lists' and 'Indents' for my 4 convicts, but would like to find out Where they were held, where they worked, where they lived and died, in fact anything more that I can. Could someone please help me on this. Best wishes Valerie in NZ Valerie Martin NZSG #15633 Researching FARRELL O'NEILL

Hi Valerie, The conduct record will often give where they worked but much of it is written using abbreviations relating to people and places around Tasmania. Otherwise if they married while still convicts they would have had to get permission to marry. These cards are at the archives and are gradually being put on the internet as well. Any BDM of children in Tasmania will be found in the Pioneer Index also held at the archives. There are also general index cards which relate to some names in the colony, often giving inquests and if children enrolled in certain schools etc. It is also a good idea to ask the archivists if they have a family file folder on the surname you are researching. If they do, this often has a lot of the above info already on it. I go to the archives most Thursday evenings to do convict lookups for people, so if you want some help, please contact me by email.
