From the Convicts to the Anzacs

Are you researching your family history?

Have you found a Tasmanian convict?

Have you seen their full convict records?

Do you know the story of how they survived and became founders of modern Australia?

If you do, would you like to join Australia’s biggest family history?

Founders & Survivors will become one of the world’s great historical studies of immigration, forced labour and settlement. It will eventually follow convict founders and their descendants over five generations and build a unique portrait of modern Australian society in the making.

We invite you to join this first stage of our quest—to find Australia’s Founders and Survivors and submit a convict you have researched.

Dear friends of Founders and Survivors,

Many of you have indicated your interest in working with other volunteers in your area, or in making contact with other local genealogists. I have set a up a number of pages on this website to facilitate this. You can visit the Groups page to see a list of local volunteer groups, and request membership of a group.

If you would like to join or suggest a location that is not listed, or if you would like to assist us by coordinating a local group, please contact Claudine.
