Robert Lawes

Oh, him...I knew he did a lot of stuff but hadn't heard about Fiji.
Yes Trevor is a Lawes descendant. Start with the generation of your grandfather George - one of his sisters is Beryl Julia Lawes (1905-1957). She married Percy Steadman and Trevor is his son.

Dear Ebba,

I'm delighted to learn about my ancestors, too. Since my father and his sister died when I was quite young, I've had to rely on my mother's memories and and recently started my research into genealogy. That's how I found my father's four siblings, Alfred E., after your husband's greatgrandfather I suppose, Herbert E., Reginald F. and Elinor Margaret.

As for their offspring, the only cousins I know of are Alfred's sons, by their nicknames: Micky Lawes, who lives in Paraguay, and Teddy Lawes, in Sidney, Australia.

I'll try to get more information from them and send it to you as soon as possible.

Regarding the statue, I've never heard anything about it but there might have been one either in Sapucay, Paraguay, where my father was born, or in Brazil, where he died. Grandpa George was quite an important guy there.

Kindest regards,
Pat

Hello Symond
It has been a while since I have been on here and recall we communicated on Ray Liversuch.  Are you aware his story is on line.  http://www.liversuch.ca/raypage.html.  I came across it by googling his name.  Its a brilliant account of Ray and other family members.
