This product is sold as a CD SECOND or SPARE.
"CD seconds" or "spares" are perfectly good data wise, but have been put aside due to:
- faulty label printing, e.g. off colour or misaligned. A few have been manually labelled or corrected
- over-produced initially, so offered as "spares" to clear
They are all offered at 60% to 90% discount (from the normal price). They will be supplied in clear CD sleeves, rather than the normal CD cases. In many cases they are the last available, i.e. they won't be available, even at full price, when sold out.

This work was developed under the working title 'The Convicts Transported from Ireland 1791-1820'. However, the records revealed a terrible Irish tragedy. Too many arrivals in Australia were not convicts at all. Many of them were placed aboard ships and despatched for no greater purpose than to rid Ireland of its Patriots.
So to leave the title as just 'Convicts' would have been a fallacy let alone a serious injustice to the memory of those great people who went on to pioneer the Australian people and its nation.
This is an index of the 6666 Irish transported convicts and exiles and their ship of arrival to late 1820. Details included in the index are: Surname, First Name, and Ship Name.
The Irish convicts and exiles deserved a monument to them which reveals who they really were but alas this book is not their memorial despite the best intention to make it one. At least in the name that these Irish patriots and heroes and heroines gave to the foreign authorities in dangerous times they are recorded and remembered two hundred years later. Australia owes so much to them for developing this country's families, community spirit and political direction.
