Does anyone know of a site that has a pic of a ticket of leave document from Van Diemens Land or failing that for NSW. There are plenty of explanations re what they were for etc but no pic! jan

Gwynne - wonderful. I have learnt a new use for google etc - being self taught I hadn't tried the image box - no stopping me now! Jan

Thank you from me too. I didn't know about the image search facility either. I've only picked up what I know about computers from my son and only use it for family history. This will be a great help. Thanks again Gwynne. Kath. x
