ARTICLES ON GERMAN IMMIGRANT SHIPS TO NSW
Australians whose German ancestors arrived on one of the ships below may be interested in a copy of our article about the ship, the passengers and the resources for researching them. The articles by Jenny Paterson are published in Burwood & District Family History Group’s journal Ances-tree. Many family history societies in NSW and other Australian states swap journals with Burwood, so they may be available in your local area.
HOW TO GET YOUR OWN COPY OF A JOURNALThe journal is a print resource, not an online resource. Back copies are available for $7 each, including postage within Australia (AUD $15 for overseas). Send your order, payment and postal address to:
The Secretary, Burwood & District Family History Group, c/o Burwood Library, 2 Conder Street, Burwood NSW 2134, Australia, and the requested journal(s) will be posted to you.
OR payment can also be made via the BDFHG website: http://bdfhg.weebly.com
