Australia and New Zealand Australia’s heritage is established in part by the fate of eight hundred convicts brought from Britain in 1788. Five hundred other people - soldiers, military families, and crewmen – were also known as the First Fleet. In the nineteenth century gold rushes also brought people from all over the world to Australia. James Cook sighted New Zealand in 1769 and returned a number of times over the next few years. The indigenous Maori population suffered from the introduction of new diseases. In an attempt to protect their position, over 500 Maori chiefs agreed to cede sovereignty to the British Crown. Today 80 per cent of New Zealanders report British ancestry. The following genealogists will help you track your British roots. They will also help trace ancestors who may have emigrated to Australia and New Zealand.
