Product Description

Researching Your Ancestors in the North of Ireland: Emigration to Australia & New Zealand

They are for anyone trying to trace family members who emigrated, voluntarily or forcefully, particularly during the early years.

The introduction covers the discovery by Europeans, the earliest immigrants, the convicts, the free settlers and, finally, the gold rushes.

The next part covers the colonies, states and territories in turn, discussing what records are readily available.

There is then a section on other sources that you may find useful, with a number of examples.

Finally, there is a page on the significant roles played by some Ulstermen.

Originally written to accompany a Society course with the same title, this booklet was developed to be useful to anyone, whether or not they had attended the course.
