Hi David Summers. Thank you for your reply. You have given me lots of information. Fascinating stuff. You've obviously worked very hard to piece it all together. I'm interested to learn more about Jeremiah Norris and would be grateful if you could help me. You said he was descended from African slaves but also the family were slave holders. Does this mean we have sub saharan DNA? That might seem like an ignorant question and I apologise. I'm just trying to understand the picture. Also you mentioned that Mary Anne Sharkey was born in Lanarkshire Scotland. My mother was from Lanarkshire and spent most of my life there. I'm currently in Lanarkshire.

Hi. I've posted here before. Eric Healy was my grandfather. I don't know much about him at all. My dad, Russell Healy was only 2 years old when Eric died. Eric took his own life in 1960. I'm sorry for posting that information on here but don't know how else to get in contact with anyone here. I've stumbled on this site as I Googled my grandfather's name looking for information. Also my dad told me that he thought his father had shot his own brother. Again sorry for posting this here. But these are some of the pieces I've picked up over the years. I was born in Townsville. My dad was born in Hughenden and Eric was born in Longreach as far as I know. My mother was Scottish and I've lived in Scotland since i was young. I tried to put my email address on here but it has been removed. But I would like to learn what I can.

Hi. I am Eric Healy's grandson. My father is Russell Healy. My grandfather died when my father was 2 years old. So my dad never knew his father. One thing I was told recently was that Healy might not be our own natural surname and I'm trying to piece things together and would be grateful for any help given. Please contact me at (*) if you would like to do so.
