Failed contact with Founders & Survivors site

[bikermickau]

Thanks to Peter Calver's LostCousins newsletter I'm now aware of or been reminded of the Founders & Survivors website.
http://foundersandsurvivors.org/

I've tried to contact the site seeking their parent sources on one of the convicts and also to add further information on that convict, however every time I try their contact email I get this error.
"SMTP error: could not authenticate."

I'm after a working email or contact with them.

On this page there's many names of academics and their institutions.  http://foundersandsurvivors.org/project
and identifies TWO funding grants

This information was supplemented by material collected under two ARC grants

  Australian Research Council Discovery Grant — ‘Founders and Survivors Australian Lifecourses in Historical Context’ 2007-11[/b]
and
  Australian Research Council Discovery Grant, ‘Convicts and Diggers: a demography of life courses, families and generations’ 2010-13

I wonder if there's not been any funding grants since the second one finished in 2013,

Perhaps you could google up the names and find an email contact address to reach any one of those academics. 

The Uni of Tasmania's Professor of Social History may be knowledgeable.    I think he was one of the researchers working with both grants.

Thanks JM, I'll look into finding a email contact address.

The ability to add information has been discontinued.

"We regret to say that we are no longer accepting convict submissions from the public as the project is winding up. Thank you for your interest."

I've tried to contact the site seeking their parent sources on one of the convicts

The sources are usually listed at the end of each convict entry.  Do you mean parents' names?  They are usually on the second page of the indent if one exists.

Thanks Debra,

Parents name are listed on the second page of the indent.
I wanted to know the source that supplied the parents names, which I'm now thinking likely came from convict's marriage in 1862 Victoria.
