HANDY AUSTRALIAN LINKS
Genealogy
On 26 January 1788 Captain Arthur Phillip, First Fleet commander, disembarked 751 convicts and their children. Over the years over 160,000 mean and women convicts came to Australia. Thankfully today there are websites with convict names, term of years, transport ships and more to assist you if you're tracing your family's genealogy or looking for an event in Australian history. We hope you'll find the following links helpful.
