Over the many weeks that I have been spending doing my family research, I have sent and received hundreds of emails from people who, like me, are descendants of particular convicts or individuals.
Its been really great and has helped me to capture so much information, stuff it would have taken me years to discover on my own.
And then just recently I received an email from someone who simply wanted to tell me that her daughter was a descendant of the one of the same convicts as I am. I pondered how to share this information - it didn't seem right to put it on my web site but at the same time, I felt I should do something with it.
And then, eureka, an idea. Install a free message board on my web space and allow people such as this lady to "tell the world".
So I have done it. Its here and I invite you to add to it if you are also a descendant of one of the same convicts or other ancestors as me. Who knows. If lots of people add their details, we might have the making of a community around certain ancestors.
Why not - crazier things have happened.
