None of mine are looking too much like convicts at the moment! Thanks for participating. I'll definately have a look at your thesis. Sounds fascinating!

I've found two, one for his father's side and one for his mother's side. This means that my father's side is the only branch who came free. Looking forward to reading your thesis.

As far as I know I don't have any convicts in my family either, though I have some doubts about one ancestor as there was a story that he came as a convict. I found a record for an 'exile' which looked like it could have been him, but turned out it definitely wasn't. Someday I hope to solve the mystery! Hi Shauna,

Thanks for the link. Thanks for sharing the story of your wayward in-law ancestors. There's no shame in coming from a line of upright citizens :-) Now I’ve got a thesis to read! Thanks for the link.
