I put the reporters who contacted me in touch with another descendant who e-mailed me. I don't hear what the results were, unfortunately.<br /><br />JaniceJanice M.

I am from Norfolk Island and also a descendant, I would be interested to hear as I have some knowledge or this matter.<br />Regards,<br />Brendon ChristianAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16224154477678291618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1350318808703965214.post-79162075985771423822012-11-10T19:09:50.659-08:002012-11-10T19:09:50.659-08:00Oh, wow!

I've received two calls this morning from news agencies asking me if Claudene really was a descendant of Fletcher Christian. Under other circumstances I might try doing the research to verify it, but since I knew her, I would feel uncomfortable if I found out the claim wasn't accurate.Janice M.
