Did your ancestors emigrate from England or Ireland to Queensland in the 1860s or 1870s?
If your answer was yes, you’ll be interested in the “They Came Direct” series. Compiled by Eileen Johnson, each of the 37 books in the series, is a compilation of all available references (newspapers, passenger lists, crew lists, maps etc.) for that particular voyage.
If your ancestors came on any of these voyages, these are a fabulous way to find out more about the voyage they took.
