These images are the background papers from which the online indexes were derived. They were previously available at NSW State Archive and elsewhere on microfilm. NSW State Archives started the imaging project about 2 years ago, and now most are online. As Port Jackson (Sydney) was the centre of administration from 1788 until about 1851 when other states started to emerge, many of the early immigrations to Port Phillip (Melbourne) or Moreton Bay (Brisbane) can be found in NSW records. Similar papers should exist for online indexes for other states after 1851, but these will be at the relative state archives, not NSW. I know Victorian shipping papers are available, but haven't seen them personally. South Australia shipping may be a problem, as a lot of their records were destroyed in a flood. Peter in Sydney

Peter, they are easy to follow and have great info like ( died at sea ) or ( died on voyage ) this is an excellent resourse Margaret ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter R Booth" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, March 19, 2011 9:05 PM Subject: Re: [IRL-CLARE] NSW shiplists online > > These images are the background papers from which the online indexes > were derived.

Margaret, there are so many new pieces of information opening up.  I did know that my father worked on board ships before he met my mother.  Suddenly, a manifast showed up on ancestry.com that showed him as an employee.  Nothing that I would ever need, but it was my father's name!!   The only time I ever "acted up" was when some snotnosed kid dared to make fun of my father!  I let the whole 64 student class and the nun understand I in a loud voice would not allow that creep to talk about my father.  Little quiet reserve me could speak up.  I knew some things about his mother and all I did was to let everyone know about it.  Then I went back to being little ladylike pleasant me.  I can talk about my father, but not creeps.   I am NO professional, am just a little lady whose researching ability comes from my mother's paternal side with a bit from her mother.  I Always try to encourage newbies or people who do not know how to start the research. Now back to quietly researching Clare and the USA and again no longer doing Tasmania,  Have to remember I am a non-professional and therefore I have to remember not to ask stupid questions.   Alanna  --- On Sat, 3/19/11, Margaret Spearin <[email protected]> wrote: From: Margaret Spearin <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [IRL-CLARE] NSW shiplists online To: [email protected] Date: Saturday, March 19, 2011, 2:24 PM Peter, they are easy to follow and have great info like ( died at sea ) or ( died on voyage ) this is an excellent resourse Margaret ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter R Booth" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, March 19, 2011 9:05 PM Subject: Re: [IRL-CLARE] NSW shiplists online > >    These images are the background papers from which the online indexes > were derived.
