Tasmanian Online Archives - did you know.........

...........that convict indents and conduct records are now available to view and download online.

l've just viewed the records l hadn't got around to ordering for my ggg grandfather, and found they had noted both his parents names and all 6 siblings, as well as the town he was born in. Cross referenced on the IGI, and found the marriage for his parents and the baptisms for all seven children. Great stuff.

Index to Tasmanian Convicts - type in the name of the convict you are after, search, then click on the database number of your convict down the left hand side of the page which will take you to that particular convicts arrival information, then use the links to indents or conduct records.

The records are in alphabetical order according to the surname, but some ledgers have the records for more than one ship entered, so you might find a surname for 'W' somewhere in the middle of the ledger.
