Summary
New South Wales Government Gazette 1832-1840
Government Gazettes are a unique, useful and extremely fascinating resource for local, family and social historians and researchers in other fields throughout Australia. They were published by the government as
a means of communication to officials and the general public and therefore contain information that is of great use in establishing an image of Australia and its people in the past.
Government Gazettes were weekly newspapers (although there were extra issues produced as well from time to time), and this CD set contains all issues that were released for the years 1832-1840 in New
South Wales, starting with the very first issue on 7 March 1832.
Full of fascinating information, both historical and genealogical, you will find information such as land transactions, legal notices, horse and cattle impoundments, partnerships, licences, government contracts and
an enormous amount of information relating to convicts, such as Certificates of Freedom, Tickets-of-Leave Granted, Tickets-of-Leave Cancelled, Absconders from Employment, Lists of Runaways Apprehended ... and so much more. So if you've got an interest in New South Wales during this period - you're bound to find something of interest.
High quality scanned images of the whole year's worth of issues, this CD set has been bookmarked for easy navigation, and pages can be searched, browsed, enlarged and printed out if required.
