TitleEdmund (Ned) Collins 1817-1862 : the convict baker's boy / by Christine Sutton, Dip. Family History.DescriptionThis title is a case study in tracing convict ancestors. Beginning long before there were digitised records, the mystery surrounding Ned's arrival and early life in Australia has taken many years of painstaking research to solve. This is Ned's story, told through the eyes of family historian and writer Christine Ambler-Sutton, a genealogist and family historian with over 37 years of family history experience. Throughout the story Chris shares her research methods and the physical and electronic sources of information she used to bring down the brick walls surrounding Ned's origin. You will find tips and hints on how and where clues to your own mysteries might be found, where the free sources of convict records are, and how persistence, patience and an understanding of State record archives can remove bricks from the genealogical wall. Not only will readers find this book helpful in overcoming these inevitable brick walls and find new sources of information, they will discover a little more about the life, times and struggles of ordinary people in a very vibrant period of Australian history.Personal authorSutton, Christine (Family historian), authorImprintBeachmere, Queensland : Business & Property Training Queensland, 2018..LanguageEnglishDate2018Collation54 pages : illustrations, facsimiles, maps, portraits ; 26 cm.ISBN9780648310426Bib. formatBooksNotesChristine holds a Diploma in Family History from the University of Tasmania.
