Subject: RE: BS: Convict ancestry?
If you want to read a really good book about one particular group of convicts going to Australia, look out for 'The Floating Brothel' by Sian Rees ISBN 0747266328. It's the true story of an 18th Century ship called the 'Lady Julian', full of female convicts going to Sidney Cove (now Circular Quay) and is fascinating.
