Thanks to lister Linda BARRACLOUGH for forwarding this. I have sent fraternal greetings from all of you. ************************************************************** The reunion of ALL the descendents of the pioneers of the Hawkesbury and Macdonald Valley is only 6 weeks away. To date many hundreds will be attending and probably many more than we anticipate as it has been well advertised in various family history groups and magazines. We would love to make it a truly wonderful and fruitful event for all. If you think that you can make it for just one day or both I would appreciate being advised in order to purchase sufficient tea and coffee as everybody will talk their heads off and need liquid refreshments. For further details see below for the URL that will take you directly to the page on my Claim a Convict site. There will also be a game each day which will give you the opportunity to gain your very own Certificate of Freedom or Ticket of Leave. Brush up on your general knowledge of convicts first OR be prepared to beg answers from the Rev. Sam !! Regards to all and I look forward to meeting those on this List who will be attending.
