Pilot Digitisation Project for Early Passenger Lists in N.S.W.

State Records New South Wales have commenced a pilot project to digitise early passenger lists. This is part of a plan to digitise the microfilm copies of the Persons on bounty ships, 1838-96;  Persons on bounty ships arriving at Port Phillip, 1839-51 and Germans on bounty ships, 1849-52.  For further information or to browse those passenger lists already online go to: http://www.records.nsw.gov.au/state-archives/guides-and-finding-aids/nrs-lists/nrs-5316   If you find your ancestors, don’t forget to check the rest of the list to see who may have been travelling with them.
