Lesley Uebel maintains an excellent resource for family history researchers with convicts in their ancestry via her Claim a convict - convicts to Australia webiste. Researchers can "claim" or register their convict of interest on the website's database. This is an opportunity to advertise research interests and connect with other family history researchers and/or new relatives.
There is alot of other useful information here as well.

Nominal Roll of Vietnam Veterans
The Nominal Roll of Vietnam Veterans honours and commemorates the men and women who served in the Royal Australian Navy, Australian Army and Royal Australian Air Force in Vietnam, or in the waters adjacent to Vietnam, during the conflict between 23 May 1962 and 29 April 1975.
The roll contains information from the Service records of more than 60 000 military members who served during the Vietnam War. You can seek information on these members using the Search function.
This version of the roll was compiled from data collected in the 1990’s to support health studies. A more comprehensive roll with a wider range of data fields, similar to those in the World War 2 Nominal Roll and the Korean Nominal Roll, is being collated from Service records. The comprehensive roll will be published on the Internet in August 2007
