At NAI I viewed some records for transportation of convicts to Australia and found them fascinating, particularly the sentences some of them received. As you know, quite shocking by today's standards. This makes me sound as though I wish I had ancestors in the convict system. It's just that it's so very interesting.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />JenniferÉire Historianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04588116386284997687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-390677411039765188.post-3816727138190636932013-02-22T22:14:41.963+00:002013-02-22T22:14:41.963+00:00One thing about Australia is that we often know wh...One thing about Australia is that we often know who our earliest villains or victims are, thanks to the convict system;-) I've got a couple of known ones to look at -but not my law-abiding (generally) family. Will be interesting to see if any new ones come up.

We do have ancestors and relatives who were political prisoners — definitely villains in the eyes of the crown — but no robbers, murderers or arsonists. <br /><br />Cheers,<br />JenniferÉire Historianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04588116386284997687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-390677411039765188.post-11333997350338297132013-02-22T15:56:40.903+00:002013-02-22T15:56:40.903+00:00Hi Tony,
