Certainly in the right town Jenn - he has been there for moons. I went to high school in CH but I think it was a little before he moved there. From reading various blurbs online, I think the show will be well done - they have certainly gone for variations in ancestry - I'm trying to decide which one has the first fleeter - HAS to be one of them. Did any of them come from Tasmania? Lots of first fleeters ended up there (via Nofolk Is).

Knowing the rootschatters, they'll have traced all the candidates back to Adam before the show airs!

I was thinking of starting at Wiki and trying it out  ;D - problem is to know the parent names & get back to when the BDMs are available & I think Jenn mentioned someone was adopted - makes it tricky - I will brobably browse a couple  ;D

They  all seem  to be born  after 1920  so  will  be very  hard  unless  you  just  luck on  it  but  hell we all love a challenge.  Jack thompson  was adopted,  so  that  will be an interesting show,  if the  go  for his birth parents?


It  is  possible  that Cathy Freeman  could  have  the first fleeter in  her background  even  though  she  is  of indigenous parentage  I  do believe it is  mixed.

Geoffrey is a baby boomer - born 1946 (as per his online biography) - his father was in AirForce in WW2 - there are 100s of Robertsons - need a first name  ;D

There are many google pages on Ita Buttrose. Might be an easier surname to search? She had a brother Will according to Wiki (dead now - was he famous?)

There was a book (biography?) about Cathy Freeman wasn't there?
And Ita Buttrose too?
Maybe someone has them and can give some clues  ;).
