🌟RootsTech🌟 Down and Out In New South Wales
Are you getting excited about the upcoming RootsTech event? If you haven't registered yet for this FREE event on 3-5 March, you can do that here: https://www.familysearch.org/rootstech/next/
You still have access to last years' classes/videos as well! Here is one that might
interest you.
Description:
The Sydney Benevolent Asylum was a temporary refuge for the destitute, old, infirm, abandoned and friendless. Ex-convicts, deserted women, abandoned children and single pregnant girls all sought its help. Today its records are a little-known and under-utilised goldmine of information which gives a wonderful insight into the lives of those it helped. Sometimes those records reveal details about our ancestors' lives that simply were not recorded anywhere else.
Find out about the people the Asylum helped, the records they left behind, and how you can check whether your ancestors sought refuge in the Sydney Benevolent Asylum.

@ifyerhappyanduknowit that class is for Australian research, not Wales, fyi. (New South Wales is a state in Australia)

@Mckenna Cooper thank you for making sure people knew that. This video still very much applies. SO many migrated from the UK to Australia, and particularly New South Wales, primarily between 1788 and 1840. I have helped many people trace ancestry from the UK to Australia, so I always consider the records interrelated.
