FOREWORD
Around the turn of the 19th century the
Australian Government was recruiting people from different walks of life to
migrate to Australia in an endeavour to pioneer the country. Also there was a
strong demand for a better type of person to come to Australia to offset the
image of the convicts and their lawlessness.
An excellent resource on this topic and a very concise read that simply explains the social and cultural context of the period of time in history that the Sivyer families migrated to Australia can be found here.
