This site is dedicated to providing useful information and resources for people researching Tasmanian history and genealogy.
Co-ordinated by Meryl Yost of Launceston, Tasmania. I welcome any interesting information to add to the site.

The photograph shown at the top of each page is the timber, dirt floor cottage that my convict ancestor, Robert Barker, lived in near Epping Forest. Unfortunately it is no longer standing.

Click on the links at the side of the page to explore the different sections.

PLEASE NOTE:
