My Ancestor was Transported to Australia: Penal Transportation to Australia
Description
These illustrated lectures will consider the phenomenon of transportation in detail and will be built around the experiences of various individuals including the lecturer’s ancestor who was sent to Australia in 1830.
We will examine the journey of transportees in detail and consider some of the many and varied record types that are available for researchers to use. The study day will be of particular use to family historians and those with an interest in social history.
