Sorry!   I assumed, but I could have been wrong.  I really had given up a long long time ago about finding any connections.  With my mother's people, I was told far too many times that I'd ever find anything about her kin.  By keeping working on it -- 4 scraps if info -- I found a connection, a 3X relative, who took me back to 1515 with the arrival of kin into Virginia.  Because of one tinny tiny memory -- my mother telling that her grandmother was not wanted to stay in a relatives' home but for her small pension.  Why a pension?  Followed it back and found a whole slew [Irish] word and lines of lineage.  Missouri and NC prior to 1865 are terrible places to research.   I will not ask again about Australia, as I made such a terrible mistake. + tears.   I did NOT ask for your or anyone's help.  I only asked a simple question.  And here in school we do not learn about the division of your country and I only know a bit or care a bit about Tasmania.   BTW, I personally drove 4K in NZ and hoped one day to visit Tasmania.  The people there were so nice.   Alanna --- On Sat, 3/19/11, Peter R Booth <[email protected]> wrote: Alanna,     If you read the instructions, how can you be under the false impression that the list covers all of Australia?     It covers Assisted or Bounty immigrants to NSW with some early arrivals in Port Phillip.     This does not include convict or unassisted immigrants or any who came as ships crew or military, some of whom will be on separate indexes for which papers have not been digitised.     If you have a specific question, please ask it. But we cannot do anything with families that may not exist, a father that did not always tell the truth, no surname and only a guess. It's just wasting our time. Peter
