Surnames I'm Researching

I have an interesting mix of ancestors, including many convicts (First Fleet & Third Fleet and others), an Irish Famine Orphan, Prussian Lutherans fleeing from religious persecution, Irish from several counties (Donegal has the strongest connection to me as that is where my direct paternal line is from), Cornish Miners, South Australian Pioneering Families, Swan River Pioneers, Bounty Immigrants, and more.

Note – I have used Chapman Codes to simplify my information.  See the bottom of the page for a quick reference of the Chapman Codes I have used here.  Most people are familiar with Chapman Codes for the British Isles, so I have used these exclusively, however when I refer to German / Prussian provinces  I have written the name of the province as well as the code, as they are not as familiar (particularly Old German Empire).
