As part of the different activities that I have engaged in with regards to the Island and my family connections, I generally had to do presentations for which I have created an e-book so that I can pass on the information to anyone who is interested. Here are the ones I found on one evening after going through several digital folders on a couple of laptops and several hard drives. Click onto the link to access the eBook. Enjoy.
We were seen off on our voyage by family and friends because Boat Day to any of the outer islands is a special occasion – especially as it is going to take at least 2 and half days – if the going is good. But the rest of the trip was quite memorable and I would recommend it to everyone.
The cover of this eBook consist of my key informants – descendants of the brothers of William’s father John. The most interesting was Des Masters who was descended on his mother’s side as well as his father’s side from two of John’s brothers. Another informant was Kath Green, whose family has lived in Walcote for generations and was able to show me some family members who were in photos around the walls of the Walcote Inn which existed in the days William’s family lived in Walcote.
Early documents from Palmerston Islands and their implication for the origins of Palmerston English. (2013)
Rachel Hendery from the Australian National University visited Palmerston and spoke to inhabitants on the island, as well as some on Rarotonga to complement the documents she had located which helped her with her study on Palmerston English.
Palmerston Family Fundraising Group Annual General Meeting 2016
In 2016 the family on Rarotonga were tasked with fundraising for the Palmerston Hostel – as it was to be called in the day. We had a lot of fun and not only mobilised our own small group but also assisted with helping to mobilise and support other family groups in Auckland, Hamilton and even Wellington whom I was also able to visit. Everyone was very supportive of the project and in the end they all assisted to get the building up, and it is done. But this was the report that was given to the family about our work during 2016 in support of this project.
