This site is a work-in-progress of the ancestry of both my parents. Surnames are Eason, Irwin, Ewin, Bell, Goode, Miles, Oates, Pascoe, Stewart, Love, Simpson, and Thomson in Australia; Lowe and Craig in New Zealand; and Riley, Andrews, Whippy, O'Connor, Brown, and Simpson in Fiji.

I've realised that if I wait until it is finished before I put it on the web it will never get there, so I've gone with what I have, mistakes and all, and I will keep fixing it as I go. Any corrections would be welcome!
