Your family history is a fascinating one!
Did any of your family take Queen Victoria's offer and move to Norfolk Island when things got rough on Pitcairn 165 years ago?

- doublec 5y agoYes, everyone on Pitcairn migrated to Norfolk. Later some families moved back to Pitcairn, including mine. The same thing happened in 1831 - everyone migrated to Tahiti. That was disastrous for the islanders though, many died of disease and they returned to Pitcairn eventually. See here for that story http://www.jps.auckland.ac.nz/document//Volume_68_1959/Volume_68%2C_No._2/Tahitian_interlude%2C_by_H._E._Maude%2C_by_115-140/p1 http://www.jps.auckland.ac.nz/document//Volume_68_1959/Volum...
