From Wikipedia (text authorized for use under creative commons):
Christmas Island is an island nature reserve, with an area of 63.49 ha, in south-eastern Australia. It is part of Tasmania’s New Year Island Group which includes the much larger King Island, lying north-west of Tasmania in Bass Strait.
Breeding seabird and shorebird species include Little Penguin, Short-tailed Shearwater, Pacific Gull, Silver Gull, Sooty Oystercatcher, Pied Oystercatcher and Black-faced Cormorant. Reptiles include Tiger Snakes and lizards. A species of mouse is present.

Not to be confused with another Christmas Island, which does have a human population, and therefore some possibilities for genealogy:

Of course he researched them. I'm sure there's a perfectly good reason for having a rootsweb board about a game preserve, and that Stephen will eventually enlighten us.

Perhaps in the meantime, we could start a discussion about the evolution of the local species?

All visitors please note that this thread was originally posted on the Christmas Island Tasmania board, as that island is the subject of discussion. These posts have nothing to do with THIS Christmas Island, and were moved here by a board admin who doesn't understand the difference.
