Answer 5

Hello, I recently found about 30,000 profiles on the Germany NLA (National Land Archives of Niedersachsen) website.  I am finding many emigrants to Australia so I might as well join and also add the Australia tag to those profiles as I create them.

Hi Michael. Thanks for supporting the Australia project. My family emigrated from Schliesien around 1840. I have seen references to Niederachsen. Please ask a question if I might help connect Germany NLA to an Australian profile.

Hello,

We have many relatives born in Australia and some of our ancestors were convicts and some were pioneer free settlers or bounty immigrants from Scotland.  We’re not sure how our skill sets will help us contribute but we’re open to suggestions.
