Convict to Entrepreneur: Maria Lord

The story of Maria Lord is one of courage in the face of betrayal. Her ability to survive and thrive, despite her transportation to Van Diemen's Land and what Edward Lord did to her, is a story that should be told. The brutal government of women in the colony, the biassed social rules of the early 1800s, and the losses suffered by female convicts are all part of Maria's story.

Further details of her story can be found online and in particular, in chapter 1 of Convict Women by Kay Daniels. In another blog post by blogger Lynley Joyce in her blog Shorthand Social, you will find more of Maria Lord's storyline.

Essential Genealogist

I AM A FAMILY HISTORIAN, GENEALOGIST AND EDUCATOR.

I have always been addicted to genealogy and being a family history detective. In 2019 I graduated from the University of Tasmania with a Diploma of Family History and in 2020 began my new venture into becoming a Family History Educator. (Edupreneur).

Since then I have developed several courses in my CoachCaroleOnline Academy and offer insights into the mysteries of family history magic in webinars, blogs and presentations.

I am now enjoying a new adventure in creating podcasts with other genealogists and storytellers. Loving the new adventure of networking with and finding out more about those who revel in the art of storytelling.
