ABSCONDED CONVICTS     .. Trove Tuesday 15th Nov 2022

Many fellow Australians have discovered they have convict connections, as my family does. We never seem to find enough about them.. Once people would be reluctant to claim any such heritage, now they are mostly happy to acknowledge what, for some, is considered ‘tongue in cheek’ Australian Royalty.

Included are just a few of the items referring to absconded convicts… There is also a list of previous articles re absconders.

Feel free to share, the title is the link…
