The purpose of this book is to show Australians some of the convict, pioneer and immigrant records of Australia that are available, where they are available and the reference numbers which at the moment they can be located by.
Searching for records of one's ancestors is not easy, but it is not impossible. It is like putting a big jigsaw puzzle together; it takes time, but one day all the pieces fit together, and the picture is complete. The personal satisfaction of having done so is indescribable.
It involves writing letters for information, possibly writing hundreds of letters, but remember that when writing a letter it is a common courtesy to enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope for a reply. Also, if writing to a church for information, it is nice to enclose a small donation.
