"In Search of Susannah"

​Upon the discovery of a female convict at the launch of our Family Tree in 1969, my mother, Jennifer Lane, was curious to know more about her great-great-great-grandmother. A search spanning fifty years led her to write a fascinating story about her convict ancestor Susannah Smith and her life in England before she was transported to NSW in 1802 -1803 for seven years. Shortly before Mum passed away, she asked me to illustrate and publish her story. I was honoured to help, and I promised her I would finish this wonderful project.
