»» "Do those who were convicted and transported to America, Australia and other locations fall into the category of emigrants"

The database is for all emigrants who who moved to another country, whether they were free settlers or convicts.

Many years ago in Australia if one of your ancestors was a convict you probably kept queit about the fact but now it is the cool thing to have a convict ancestor and you proudly make it known.
