CERTIFICATES OF FREEDOM Trove Tuesday 14th Jun 2022

 

Sample thanks to NSW State Archives

A certificate of freedom was issued at the completion of a convict's sentence, as proof he/she was a free person. They were free to travel anywhere, and could return to the United Kingdom (if they could afford it!).   You can search for more at this site free to search..

You can also see some of my earlier posts re Certificates of Freedom via the links at the end of this post.

Note: the ditto refers to the ship they arrived on.

MILITARY, Appointments, Retirements, etc. Trove Tuesday 7th Jun 2022

 

Military notices, particularly in Government Gazettes, can add a whole lot more to ancestors histories. Not all our families were aware of the various transfers, appointments, etc. that our ancestors were given. 

Our National Australian Archives, NAA, has a great site called Record Search.. which includes various sections including war records, service, conflicts such as the Boer war, etc. For Defence and war records, go here    It's a comparatively easy site to navigate. 

RecordSearch covers all manner of things and it's easy to get lost there 'just browsing'.

Did you know that there is a Flickr site that has images of hundreds of WW1 servicemen?

There are too many to give direct links, but if you log in to TROVE, and search for Military, you will find these items have TT Military  beneath them (for  Trove Tuesday Military)
