I acquired this newsletter "Convict Connections" at the recent Unlock the Past Queensland Expo. It was not until yesterday that I had a chance to open it and peruse the articles inside; I was pleasantly surprised. This publication does not appear to have a Queensland bias; this issue includes articles about The Parramatta Female Factory, The Napoleonic Wars, Moreton Bay Convicts, Politics behind the Rum Rebellion and Some Interesting Facts about Transported Women.
Published three times a year in February, June and October the annual subscription is $15 (including postage)
The Group responsible for this publication and the Convict Connections website " is an Interest Group operating within the Genealogical Society of Queensland Inc. (www.gsq.org.au). The group was formed several years ago to bring together members who are researching their convict and early colonial past. With this common interest we are able to assist one another as we endeavour to discover more about our early Australian ancestry – and beyond."
