Family History

The research which was done on mine says 27 males and 8 females died onboard in the 206 day journey.

For some reason this comment has made me wonder How many innocent Palestinian women and children will perish in the next 206 days

Fair point, but this is the wrong thread for that discussion.

Thanks MR, I'm actually surprised the numbers weren't higher tbh.

Your talking death made me think of this terrible genocide that is occurring

How many people must have died during those long journeys? Given the cramping and sanitation and health conditions. Once you got here in one piece, you earned it!

According to the records, the ship that my ancestor was on, only lost about 5 or 7 convicts as well as the carpenter who fell overboard

There were several births as well

Poor carpenter and babies. Not a great start to life.
