An index to Tasmanian convict absconders for the year 1836 has been added online. The index to some 1270 convict absconders in Tasmania for the year 1836.Each convict can be identified either by the ship they were transported aboard to Tasmania, or by their assigned (convict) number. If the convict's ship is listed, the usual information provided is Name, Surname, Occupation, Ship, Native Place, where and when absconded, Age, Physical Description (along with record of tattoos, physical deformities or markings etc). Also listed is Trial Place and Date, Sentence. If only the convict's number is listed, then there will little information other than the time the convict absconded. This is because usually this convict has been arrested within hours/days of their having been noted as missing. http://www.genseek.net/tabs36a.htm cheers Jenny Fawcett
