Was your ancestor in the Queensland Parliament?

"The Queensland Parliament’s Re-Member project is a fully searchable online database of biographical information on the parliament’s first members. The database will be updated to ultimately present information on all former members of the Queensland Parliament."

Did you know that some early members had convict backgrounds?

They include:

• Patrick O'Sullivan (1818-1904) - MLA
• Kevin Izod O'Doherty (1823-1905) - MLA and MLC
• William Henry Groom (1833-1901) - MLA and Speaker
