“How Do You Think You Got Here!”

Immigration to Victoria in the Nineteenth Century

How and why did your ancestors migrate to Victoria? What prompted them to leave their friends and relations behind and travel halfway around the world to a possible unknown future? Come along to a seminar where we will examine these questions and explore how you can find the resources to help you better research your family history.

Why did they come?                      What schemes brought migrants to Victoria?
What happened on the voyage?      What were their initial experiences on arrival?
Case studies to guide your own research
