May I ask how does this site run, Is it all done by people who are descendants? or what I have found my dear John Bailey on this with thanks to Peter O but would like to know or take it further Thanks ELaine

Hi Elaine - the link below is for the Home page of the above site - will give you a complete explanation. Cheers Sally http://foundersandsurvivors.org/project "Founders & Survivors is a partnership between historians, genealogists, demographers and population health researchers. It seeks to record and study the founding population of 73,000 men women and children who were transported to Tasmania. Many survived their convict experience and went on to help build a new society." -------------------------------------------------- From: "Elaine Jefferson via" <aus-tasmania@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, December 02, 2014 9:06 AM To: <AUS-TASMANIA@rootsweb.com> Subject: [AUS-Tas] FOUNDERs and SURVIVORS site > May I ask how does this site run, Is it all done by people who are > descendants? or what > I have found my dear John Bailey on this with thanks to Peter O but > would like to know or take it further > > Thanks > ELaine > ------------------------------- > AUS-Tasmania Mailing List Website http://www.rootsweb.com/~austashs/ > Contact Admin AUS-Tasmania-Admin@rootsweb.com > Search the Archive (type AUS-Tasmania in the list box) > http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > AUS-TASMANIA-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the > quotes in the subject and the body of the message >

Hi Jill, not sure what you mean - I have just been looking at it, and searched several of my convicts with no problem. You can log into your account if you have one - pretty sure I don't though. home page http://foundersandsurvivors.org/ or http://foundersandsurvivors.org/pubsearch Cheers Sally >
