This index contains convict movement in the Colony of New South Wales (encompassing what is now New South Wales, Queensland, Tasmania and Victoria) of nearly 10,000 convicts. This CD has compiled for the first time, both
transported convicts (from England or English colonies), as well as
colonial convictions. Colonial convicts were those persons who were born in the colony and committed an offence, or others who came free and subsequently committed an offence, or alternatively those convicts who had served their sentences and then re-offended.
The CD is in two main sections. This first being an index - which is easily navigatable using the alphabet hyperlink buttons. Names in the index are arranged alphabetically by surname together with the date of second transportation and from where.
If you click on the surname in the index, this takes you to the full entry which lists: Surname Alias; Given Name; Ship of Arrival to the Colony; Ship of Second Transportation; Date of Second Transportation; Transported From; Transported To; Page; Location; Reel No: Remarks.
The information has been gleaned from microfilms in the State Records of New South Wales, and this CD has been compiled by the Descendants of Convicts' Group Inc.
