The Genealogical Society of Victoria and the Descendants of Convicts Group are delighted to announce their amalgamation.
With a long history of association, this re-merger brings together the resources, volunteers and knowledge of both groups to create new opportunities for the benefit of their members.
In light of this, the GSV has launched a new discussion circle. Called the Convicts and Transportation Discussion Circle (CATDC), it will focus on helping members understand and research the process and experience of transportation and convict life in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Ancestral connections to a convict are not a requirement for participation in the discussion circle. Access to the quarterly sessions are included for free as part of an active GSV membership.
Details about the first session of the Convicts and Transportation Discussion Circle will be announced soon.
