Are there any records of those poor unfortunate Irish sent off to Botany Bay and other English penal colonies?

The Eire government gave such a list of convicts sent to Australia as a gift for the 200th birthday of the founding of NSW. Have a look at:- http://www.pcug.org.au/~ppmay/convicts.htm Tom Cheers, Tom [Tom Perrett] <tomp@st.net.au> Proud to be member of Melbournee DPS, first port of call re Victorian research - http://home.vicnet.net.au/~dpsoc

See: http://www.nationalarchives.ie/topics/transportation/search01.html http://www.hotkey.net.au/~jwilliams4/cons.htm http://members.iinet.net.au/~perthdps/convicts/list.html There's Rootsweb lists including convicts to Port Jackson which is a pretty active list and a Irish convict list. There are separately a number of State sites if you know where your convict went to. Hope this helps.
