TOPICS for discussion:


  • Port Jackson Convicts

  • Brick-walls-- remember to tell us what you have already researched to save
         others from covering the same ground.

  • Any topic concerning the life and times of our convicts to Port Jackson-- and includes Colonial History

  • You may wish to just list your convict ancestors and please feel free to do this at any time  - within limits :)

  • Any questions concerning convict life in Port Jackson


TOPICS NOT for discussion and basic etiquette

  • NO advertising. It is a Rootsweb guideline that you don't post commercial messages, fee-for-service postings or advertising

  • When replying to a message, leave only the specific message to which you are replying.   Those who use the Digest mode--please do not send the entire digest of messages back to the list.

  • Please don't send messages to the list about a virus, broken links or technical problems.

  • When answering a question using information obtained from a CD, book, web site etc  ensure that you give full attribution to the source 

  • Unless you receive permission from the author, please not do send messages found on another list or forum.  Also do not send messages from this list to other lists or forums unless you obtain permission

  • Please do not send messages asking listers to take part in any petition.


  • Please - no flames!   

  • If you are researching convicts for payment then please do not use this list in order to obtain information and that includes those contacting listers privately offering research services for a fee.

  • Breaking basic rules can cause annoyance to our hundreds of other subscribers who are here to discuss convicts to Port Jackson  and I reserve the right to immediately  unsubscribe anyone who disregards this and without warning or further discussion.

And most importantly remember basic manners. If you ask a question and receive a reply, then send a thank you.

The majority of these rules are the rules that Rootsweb suggest to all list owners.
