MISSING.. FRIENDS and CONVICTS Trove Tuesday 1st Dec 2020

Great descriptions and also useful to trace where people were from, some list ships of arrival and former homeland… Some have names of family members. 

Discovering the occupation of your ancestors may also help in tracking their movements. Look for areas where particular skills where needed.

Convicts escaped from gaol as well as from work gangs…
