When you're starting to research your family history we suggest that you begin with yourself and work backwards... one generation at a time.
You can then work through NSW birth, death and marriage records and you will eventually get to a point where there are no more records.
Our Shipping and Passenger Records Research Guide is a great place to start. Use our suggested resources to search passenger records, then delve deeper into the records of ships arriving in Australia.
