I'd like to ask a favor of our cousins in Australia. If any of you have useful or interesting websites that would help us find information about our reles that were transported or immigrated to your lands, please take a minute and post the addys with a short description of what is to be found there. Sometimes Googling is just not enough. If there are sites that desceribe what life was like for the convicts or immigrants, that would also be interesting to many of us. So I would like to officially :) declare this to be "Australian Week" on CoTipperary. Show the world what you can give us, mates. Names named are always good. Janet

I too would also like to ask a favour of our cousins in Australia. Would one of you be kind enough to collect the many websites kindly being reported in reply to Janet's request, and summarise them for us so that we don't all have to save them individually. Any offers? Those of us who are members of the Guild of One Name Studies (GOONS) are lucky enough to have our own information Store (Wiki). The section on research sources in Australia begins: General National Library of Australia has a webpage of Australian Family History and Genealogy on the Internet, http://www.nla.gov.au/oz/genelist.html http://www.searchwhateveraustralia.com.au/ is "the Australian Genealogy Search Engine and Directory for the most useful Australian and International sites. Extensive lists of convicts, ships, passenger lists, censuses, cemeteries, genealogical clubs and societies and family history sites."
