Burnetts Down Under
Hello My family Burnett family history search begins with my GG grandfather William Burnett born Aberdeen 1823. father James born Scotland 1781 Mother jane (beckett ) born 1786. William came to Australia somewhere between 1843 & 1846. he married Margaret McFarlane in 1949 . He was a miner and lived in Illabarook . he died in 1893 and is buried in Rokewood Victoria Australia. Any information about William-his birth /immigration to Australia or his parents would be very appreciated. sincerely Jan

Background to Burnetts Down Under
Burnetts Down Under
Hi All, I created a Facebook Group of the same name "Burnetts Down Under" some time ago, which I have been using as a conduit for trying to connect as many descendents of Burnet/Burnett/Burnette emigrants to Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific. To some extent this has been succesful, but I am hoping that this platform will prove even more so. I would welcome any discusiion, comments, stories or anything of interest from anyone who is descended from someone who emigrated "Down Under". My own connection is with Kenneth Burnett who emigrated from Scotland in December 1882. Through Kenneth I can trace my ancestors back to Alexander Burnet born in 1729 to Andrew Burnet and Isoble Scott. Many descendants of Alexander have emigrated to the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
