Chasing Black Sheep in New Zealand - Pauline Weeks (AU)

Do you have a "black sheep" in the family? Family historian Pauline Weeks looks at Industrial Schools, Orphanages, Asylum, and Prison Records to show you how to paint a picture of your ancestors’ lives. They are often the most colourful ancestors, and you can find records related to them in many places, including the Archives, Government Gazettes, and newspapers.
