Australian Genealogy Research

Many British people are bound to find that brothers and sisters or cousins of ancestors left the British shores for a new life in Australia. Or you may find ones who had no choice in the matter, such as convicts. You may even find a direct ancestor who spent time in Australia but returned to the UK, either through the army, navy or temporary emigration.
