New South Wales Team

Team Leader: Peter Jones

• I tend to focus on working-through the weekly Data Doctor Suggestion List for Australia (especially looking for duplicated profiles). I have also done some work on Australian notables (e.g. Don Bradman, Margaret Peden, etc.), Governors General, and Governors of NSW. Both my wife and I have some convict ancestors, so that is an interesting area. After visiting Norfolk Island in 2015, I some work on Norfolk Island categories and profiles and I try to keep an eye on those pages and profiles.

I'm looking forward to working with everyone.

Team members:

• Gillian Thomas - Focusing on connecting up profiles of Assisted and Bounty Immigrants who arrived in Sydney and the same with profiles created for people buried at Welby Cemetery. But I'm up for anything else NSW.
