subject: Sweers Island births, 1882
Email: wade_lewis<at>yahoo.com
My grandfather's birth certificate shows his father, WALTER HENRY LEWIS,
as being born on Sweers Island in 1882. Do you by chance have any information
on those who lived on Sweers at this time? Most of what I have read online
(including Peter's wonderful history) suggests that most non-Indigenous
people have moved off Sweers by this time, and I'm having trouble finding
any information about the circumstances of my great grandfather's birth.
Appreciate any advice or pointers you may have. Cheers, Wade
