66. Glossary of Last Name Meanings & Origins
Hundreds of surname meanings and origins are profiled in this free genealogy reference tool, along with popular spelling variations and related family trees. Includes common surnames of English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, and Jewish origin. You can also submit a free request to have your surname meaning researched and added to the glossary. No guarantees, though - surname meanings are not always able to be found.
67. Ireland-Australia Transportation Database
Free online searching is available for this database of records (transportation registers, petitions, etc.) relating to transportation of convicts from Ireland to Australia covering the period 1788 to 1868. In some cases these include records of members of convicts' families transported as free settlers. It is important to note that all transportation registers compiled before 1836 were destroyed, so if the person you are researching was convicted before 1836, but was not the subject of a petition, he or she will not appear on this free genealogy database.
