Hi Madison,
I am a great grandson of Manuel Joseph Composa Geros. My grandma Helene Charlotte Geros was one of his 10 children from my great grandma, Anna Domoni, a native Fijian. From what I have researched, most of these children were born in Noumea, New Caledonia. As I understand it Manuel Geros later married a Winifred Thomas and they had a daughter Evelyn Geros (later Boudreau).
Helene Geros married my Granddad Edward Heatley in Fiji and they had 9 children of which my dad Michael is the youngest.
There are other descendants of the Geros family still living in Fiji.
Growing up we were also told about my great uncle Antoine Geros (also one of Manuel's sons) who returned to Noumea and later died in Papeete, Tahiti.
I am not too clear on the history of Manuel's other children - It does seem, though that your great great granddad Michael Marion Geros was the older brother of my grandma Helene.
As you say, it would be nice to know all our extended family, certainly.
Kind Regards,
Shane
