Great info on New Zealand. Gave me many ideas for searching family there.

I always enjoy listening to Fiona. Talks are always organised and well presented.
I just recently found out about my New Zealand cousins, so this was especially great to hear and see Fiona’s examples.
I use NZ Electoral Rolls and Archway a lot, but still found a few little gems I didn’t know about. Need to re-listen to it and make some notes.
Interesting
Some old resources and some new ones but lots of tips about how to use them and that was really great. Liked seeing how you progress from the search to the evidence in your presentation and the discussion about what the info might mean.
Thanks Fiona, very interesting and pleased to pick up a couple of tips. Cheers from down the road, in Dunedin

Shackles, shekels and shrapnel: the exodus to the Southern seas
Changes in Britain post the 1776 War of Independence, along with Capt James Cook’s mapping of New Zealand (1769) and New South Wales (1770), led to convicts and marines being sent to Botany Bay in 1787. So began British migration to the Southern Seas. Factors driving various waves of migration (economic, political, family ties, adventure) will be discussed, along with the effects the British Diasporas had on the Aboriginal and Māori Communities and their environment. Tips on tracing those missing down-under branches of your tree will also be covered.
