SAMPLE ENTRY:

So Harry set off in September 1852 from Plymouth at age 2½, with his parents and older sister Catherine, brother George and baby Tom, on the Parsee for Moreton Bay. They arrived on 10 January 1853 after what must have seemed to Harry a surreal experience over those 102 days. Although the passengers were apparently of exemplary behaviour, the crew had behaved badly throughout the voyage.

  • QFHS Journal on CD and Easy to Search

    Posted by Ross Hansen on 11th Jan 2021

    Since joining QFHS more recently, I had often wanted to read articles in back issues of their journal. This CD covers to period from their first issue to 2010 and is fairly easy to search once you get the hang of it. It is certainly a much cheaper way to acquire these back issues and, of course, it saves a lot of space on the bookshelf.
