Find Living Relatives

Decendants of William Page Ashburner, Michael Maxwell Shaw, Bart. Thomas, Harry Scott Hewitt, in Tasmania. All 4 of these are my ancestors. I'm going to Tasmania next year & would love to meet some living relations.

Unless they are members of GR, they will not see your message
