HAA007 Convict Ancestors & HAA105 Convicts in Context

Convict Ancestors was the first unit I completed for this Diploma.

I confess I didn't know much about Convicts in Australia apart from the fact that they were here.  This unit was quite an eye-opener.

Having no convict blood myself (so far, to my knowledge) I borrowed one from Links in the Chain and was able to complete my assignment.

My Convict Ancestors assignment on Sarah Barnes is here and my Convicts in Context assignment is here.

Below are some links to information relating to Convicts you may find interesting.
