Do you have an ancestor who was a convict? Find out how to search for convict ancestors using online resources, with help from guest speaker, Myles Sinnamon, from the State Library of Queensland. Or find out about some common pitfalls that you are likely to encounter when researching your family history from Catriona Robinson of Ipswich Genealogical Society.
