A note just came through on the AUS-NSW-HILLS-HAWKESBURY-HUNTER-VALLEY Mailing List from Coralie Hird:
"It is with great sadness that I have to inform the list that our beloved
Lesley Uebel passed away peacefully on Monday evening the 20th of January.
Lesley was not alone on her final voyage and she has sailed away with a full
pardon and is now a free settler in the bosom of her family and friends."
Michelle Nichols has taken over the administrative role for two Rootsweb lists that Lesley looked after.

Those of us with Convict Ancestry will remember Lesley for the wonderful work she did on the Claim a Convict site which enabled us to connect with other descendants of our miscreants. The site which has now been archived but I believe that the site will be relaunched on Australia Day.

Condolences to Lesley's husband, Colin, and family at this difficult time.
