Hi Meryl I would like to warmly endorse the sentiments expressed by so many. As someone removed from Tasmania, yet linked by my convict great great grandparents, your incisive knowledge has helped me overcome some barriers and point me in the right directions. Clearly you has done likewise for others as well. This is a rare thing in this age of declining numbers of volunteers and a tendency to simplistic research. Thank you again Joseph Auckland, New Zealand Margaret DEANS : Baretto Junior William BUCKHAM : Lord Auckland (2)
