Link: Tasmanian Convict resources
« on: Thursday 29 January 15 10:56 GMT (UK) »
I have come across quite a few people today that have no idea this FREE access site exists, so if your looking for information on Convicts, Immigrants, old Orphanage records in Tassie etc etc this is the place to go.

http://www.linc.tas.gov.au/

This next link will get you straight into search so you don't have to mess around looking for it -

Thank you so much for the link Leigh. Found one of my 'naughty' ancestors and her children. Just brightened up a cold and snowy afternoon!  :)

Kind regards
Olwen

Your Welcome Olwen,  :) and don't forget to use Trove, you may find a story or two if you are lucky.

And another site many are not aware of that only records Death Notices placed in newspapers.

Excellent site, thanks Leigh. Just confirmed lots of births and marriages, and the census details help too.  :D

Leigh that site is well known and is the revamped site http://portal.archives.tas.gov.au/menu.aspx?search=5 which has been used for years by researchers.

Have your browsed the FREE Tasmanian resources compiled by our former moderator. ;)
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=369953.msg2445552#msg2445552

I suggest you have a browse through all the Australian resources along with each state and territory which is listed individually.
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/australia-resources-offers/

Perhaps tell the people who have no idea that these FREE links exist on the Australian Resources board.
