Summary:

Immigration deposit journals [NSW] index 1853-1900 -- Immigration deposit regulations supplementary index 1856-1857."This new CD includes two indexes previously published on separate microfiche sets: 1. Immigration Deposit Journals [NSW] Index 1853-1900 -- Immigrants & Depositors 2. Immigration Deposit Regulations Supplementary Index 1856-1857 -- Immigrants & Depositors. Immigration Deposit Journals [NSW] Index 1853-1900: Immigrants & Depositors contains 67,199 records in separate indexes for depositors and immigrants. Many convicts and early immigrants established in the Colony sponsored relatives and employees and, in a large majority of entries, details such as location, parish, townland or address in the county of origin, ship etc are specified. This index lists the name and age of the proposed immigrant, sponsor (depositor), date of deposit, deposit number, State Records NSW microfilm reel number and, in a remarks column, coded information where available in the original journal entry; ie O=occupation; L or A for location or address; Chapman codes for county/country; R=referee; S=ship and noted if the deposit is for any other family members. These codes are fully explained in the introduction. The introduction also lists the full State Records references for the volumes. Immigration Deposit Regulations Supplementary Index 1856-1857: Immigrants & Depositors is an index of 4,297 records compiled from Embarkation Orders and Shipping Lists of arrivals between November 1856 to February 1858 with the actual lists for the period 1856-57 covering the period when only the Depositors' Journal survived in the Immigration Deposit Journals series. There are separate lists for both depositors and immigrants. Like the Immigration Deposit Journals these records provide that vital link between family and extended family, often cousins, uncles etc., with different surnames, and gives the ship of arrival. There are many instances where a person has sponsored several people on the same ship with apparently unrelated surnames but which in fact have a familial link. Each immigrant's age is given and families are grouped. Five of the ships went direct to Moreton Bay"--Publisher's website.
