Preview:About the time I discovered I had convict ancestors in my father's family tree, I read The Secret River and Searching for the Secret River by Australian novelist Kate Grenville. The books detail Kate Grenville's story about her convict ancestor, Solomon WISEMAN, who, after gaining his freedom, settled on the Hawkesbury River, becoming a wealthy man and after whom Wiseman's Ferry just north of Sydney, is named.

Spurred on to find out more, I joined the Casino and District Family History Group where experienced members helped me to find information about Edward FULLER' s life in Australia.
My early research about the male convict in dad's family, Edward FULLER, began to show close parallels to the story of Solomon WISEMAN.
