Hi martywillis

Thanks for that  ... sounds like it might be interesting viewing.

Hi Marty

Have it taped and looking forward to seeing it when I have 5 mins, or rather an hour Smiley

For those that are not aware, this is a documentary on Marty's 4x Great Grandmother ( Think I have that right)

Hi

Certainly informative  ... and quite enjoyable.

A tad disappointed that the doco makers had only sought-out a few descendants - the promo for the programme appeared to suggest otherwise - (and that they (descendants),  seemed not to necessarily be, "passionate genealogists" - e.g. the preacher lady from Tassie in claiming her convict rellie, appeared clueless as to how they were related) ?   
I do have to admit to nearly changing channels when it seemed this might turn into another version of WDYTYA.   Roll Eyes

But after all, the story was in fact about these convict women .... and their place in history was deservedly acknowledged in this documentary.

Thanks Marty   .... yes, glad I watched it.    Smiley
