Between
1788 and 1900 over 1,000,000 people immigrated to Australia.
Most of them
were from the British Isles, but some were from Europe and Asia.
Before 1900
there were 4 classes of immigration:
Convicts
sentenced to Australia for various periods of time, depending on the crime. Usually
from British Isles or colonies
Bounty immigrants chosen by Australian colonists
to come from the British Isles.
Assisted immigrants came through the financial
assistance of the government, organizations, or wealthy individuals.
Paying
passengers came through their own means.
If your ancestors came from the United Kingdom then I may be help you to trace them through Ship's passenger Lists.
