I haven't done any serious searching for my Pusell line on Trove since the Government Gazettes came on line. For this TroveTuesday post I decided to go looking.
The Pusell mob got quite a few mentions some of which I'll share here . The earliest is for a land lease in Rockley, NSW for my convict ancestor, James Pusell.
James Pusell and his wife Maria Tucker who were my Great-Great Grandparents had a lot of children to feed!

My Great-Grandfather, James Pusell, found himself in a similar situation.

Great-Uncle Bill also found himself on the wrong side of the law.

It seems as though Great-Uncle Dick wasn't faring too well in 1920.

These few snippets demonstrate the value of using Government Gazettes for family history research. These references have provided contemporary confirmation of Names, Places, Dates and Activities of my ancestors.
