I'll start the ball rolling. There were many convicts who were literate and numerate and I would guess that they assisted others with writing skills.

Hi Listers, This question may have a very logical answer but I thought I would call on the collective wisdom and experience of my peers to advise me. Who helped convicts who were illiterate?

Hello Listers, For those people who may have Koglin in their lineage and are on Ancestry or perhaps My Heritage please be aware there are trees that state Johann Michael KOGLIN and Sophie Henriette Caroline HINZ are the parents of Christlieb Koglin (stated to have been born in 1836) and Gottlieb "August" Koglin (born in 1825). I believe the "August" was added later for reasons below. Further research with this couple and these two gentlemen have revealed Christlieb KOGLIN was in fact born in 1811 and died in Prussia in 1886 (the trees have him passing in the USA) and Gottlieb "August" KOGLIN's death information has been attributed to our August KOGLIN who died at St Marys in 1914. It appears the research carried out for Johann Michael KOGLIN and his wife Sophie on Ancestry and My Heritage was not performed thoroughly. This couple actually married in 1825 in Persanzig in Prussia. Children attributed to this couple are also at odds. So sadly for whatever reason someone has found names and not looked for the correct information, just put it into their tree and others have followed suit. I just wanted to alert you to this fact so as you do not fall into the same trap. The upside of this is a potential DNA match between our August KOGLIN and Christlieb KOGLIN and/or his wife Auguste TONN. It is very early days so there is no way of knowing how this will all pan out. Cheers Judi

Thanks maree, but it is the Bounty Ticket it self rather than information on the Bounty Immigrant we need. I have the full ships manifest and Mal found the actual Bounty Ticket number in the Libraries Tasmania site.I think it was. Also aNominal List of Boounty Immigrants Books in Alphabetical order. On the NSW site Elaine sent I found an example of a Bounty Ticket for the year 1840, It gave fathers occupation and mothers. Native place. On Johns Ship, Broomielaw, the manifest just has Scotland for Native place so we were hoping such a Bounty Ticker would tell us more. I did look at the pages you mentioned but it didnt give me what I needed above what I knew, though interesting just the same. Thank you for taking the time to look.

I took the easy way out Anna and had my technician put them on the computer. I remember watching him and he put in a piece of code overwriting what was already there to do with location. It was about 10 years ago at least - can't help you more! But I think it is fairly easy to do if you have the knowledge shall we say.

Your email finally gave me the courage to install a virtual pc AND Vista AND the TPI that I have had sitting on a disk for years! Your instructions were very helpful. Although, when I announced to the children that I had accomplished this feat, my 16 year old son says, 'oh that's easy'!!! Anyway, the only question I have is how you copied the disks to the virtual pc? My attempt left me with a message as to where the cd had gone. I don’t want to have to use it every time (and yes I will ask the cheeky son). In all a brilliant outcome and as I live in Adelaide, a much more efficient use of time. Thanks again.

One of the older versions of Windows used to include a "virtual PC" facility but I don't think they have done so for some years now. I use a program called VMware Workstation Player. You install that on your PC. It then allows you to install one or more "virtual" PCs on your computer. The "virtual" PC uses part of your hard drive just like any version of Windows, and uses part of your computer memory. It can also access folders and files that are shared to it, access the internet, printers etc. The amount of hard drive space and memory used can be changed in the VMware settings, as can folders shared from the "Host" PC, and access to other devices including disc drives and printers etc. You need to have a Windows 32 Bit disc to install the "virtual" PC. I have Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit on my computer, but have Windows 7 Pro 32 Bit installed in the virtual PC using VMware. There is or was a free version of VMware available for non commercial use, I haven't checked for a while. I use the paid version. I purchased a download version of Windows 32 Bit to install in the virtual PC (I originally used an old Windows XP 32 Bit but when Microsoft ceased support for XP some years ago I updated. You can copy search results from the virtual PC to the host PC via the Windows clipboard, or save documents etc. to folders on the host PC. If you purchase the paid version of VMware, and need to purchase a 32 Bit version of Windows there is obviously some cost. If you can use the free version, and already have a disc with a 32 Bit version of Windows it will only require an investment of time to install VMware and install the 32 Bit version of Windows in a virtual PC. In my case I copied the Digger discs to folders on the PC, then ran the installers from the folders, so I don't have to physically insert and remove the various discs all the time, much quicker and avoids possible damage to the discs when handling them.

Ray, I cannot thank you enough. Your email finally gave me the courage to install a virtual pc AND Vista AND the TPI that I have had sitting on a disk for years! Your instructions were very helpful. Although, when I announced to the children that I had accomplished this feat, my 16 year old son says, 'oh that's easy'!!! Anyway, the only question I have is how you copied the disks to the virtual pc? My attempt left me with a message as to where the cd had gone. I don’t want to have to use it every time (and yes I will ask the cheeky son). In all a brilliant outcome and as I live in Adelaide, a much more efficient use of time. Thanks again.

One of the older versions of Windows used to include a "virtual PC" facility but I don't think they have done so for some years now. I use a program called VMware Workstation Player. You install that on your PC. It then allows you to install one or more "virtual" PCs on your computer. The "virtual" PC uses part of your hard drive just like any version of Windows, and uses part of your computer memory. It can also access folders and files that are shared to it, access the internet, printers etc. The amount of hard drive space and memory used can be changed in the VMware settings, as can folders shared from the "Host" PC, and access to other devices including disc drives and printers etc. You need to have a Windows 32 Bit disc to install the "virtual" PC. I have Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit on my computer, but have Windows 7 Pro 32 Bit installed in the virtual PC using VMware. There is or was a free version of VMware available for non commercial use, I haven't checked for a while. I use the paid version. I purchased a download version of Windows 32 Bit to install in the virtual PC (I originally used an old Windows XP 32 Bit but when Microsoft ceased support for XP some years ago I updated. You can copy search results from the virtual PC to the host PC via the Windows clipboard, or save documents etc. to folders on the host PC. If you purchase the paid version of VMware, and need to purchase a 32 Bit version of Windows there is obviously some cost. If you can use the free version, and already have a disc with a 32 Bit version of Windows it will only require an investment of time to install VMware and install the 32 Bit version of Windows in a virtual PC. In my case I copied the Digger discs to folders on the PC, then ran the installers from the folders, so I don't have to physically insert and remove the various discs all the time, much quicker and avoids possible damage to the discs when handling them.

I was given Registration numbers for this person 1904/2753 Queenstown and death 1929/132. Her name is variously recorded as Marguerite or Marion Marguerite BAADE. I would like to look at the originals through LINC Tasmania but cannot locate the records. The spelling of the surname is likely to be incorrect. Marguerite was the daughter of Catherine Durkin and William James Baade. Could listers assist me please? Chris In Melbourne

Hi everyone, Just a reminder when you are replying to a message could you please remove the footers at the bottom of the message that you are replying to and also to remove any other unnecessary comments from the message you are replying to. I understand that this can be difficult when using smart phones or tablets but leaving the excess of the original message increases the size of your reply to the list, adds extra to the archive that isn't needed (as the original message is already in there in full) and also clogs up the Digests with a lot of extra that makes them very difficult for the recipients to read easily.

I imagine these would be "scarce as hens teeth ". I believe that some of them have a Product Key and on-selling might be out of the question...

How do I get my hands on the Digger CD's? The Tasmania & Victoria Pioneer Indices would be the most interesting to me. As best I can tell, there was an update of Digger for Win 8 several years ago, but I can find no online source for the Digger CD's themselves. Is there any keyword (author, publisher) that would help to zero in on them in Ebay & Amazon?
