Emigration and immigration sources list names and other details about individuals leaving (emigration) or coming into (immigration) Australia. 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.
ReplyDeletePrior to 1900 there were four classes of immigrants to Australia:
Convicts sent to Australia after they were tried and convicted for crimes committed in the British Isles. Tasmania and New South Wales were the states that received most of the convicts before 1830.
Bounty immigrants were chosen by Australian colonists to come from the British Isles to Australia.
Assisted immigrants came to Australia through the financial assistance of the government, organizations, or wealthy individuals.
