Yes, that's who I was talking about, although he was actually Northern Irish.

You are a LOT older than I thought you were, if you are referring to MY George Best.

Default George Best

Hi Toni
Our family has too been researching George Best, the convict who is my dependent. We have all of his information following his arrival into Australia but have had no success finding him in England. It is extremely frustrating. The Ancestry.com website leads to the same family which as you say is not correct because that George died in England.

Hello Anna welcome to the George is an annoying ancestor club. I think we are suffering because he is so easy to trace in Australia.

How are you descended from George? I'm descended twice via his sons Thomas and William. William's daughter married Thomas' grandson.
