Hello Regine

Until recently I thought my g-g-grandfather, Alexander Hunter, Thomas's younger brother, was an only child. Imagine my suprise and delight when I found he had 10 brothers and sisters! Alexander was captain of the ELIZA and married an english woman Eliza Irvine from Kent. They had one child, Alexander, born in Papeete. A couple of years after the birth, baby Alexander and Eliza turn up in Proserpine, Qld as WILSON's. I can't find what happened to Alexander snr,or his ship. My family was brought up with the story that Alexander senior married a Tahitian princess. Eliza Irvine from Kent doesn't sound Tahitian to me! However reading Robin Stamps messages, your Thomas may have been the brother with the princess, possibly your direct line. Lucky you! I have found it pays to follow through with family stories as there is more then an element of truth in them. The book TAHITIENS, says Thomas Hunter had "numerous descendents" It also says the HUNTERS were a very respectable and well brought up family. The Dutch/Scandinavian families I know call their grandfather "OPA". Can you read french? I am struggling with the piece on PETER BROTHERSEN. It does mention TERTUARII HUNTER, CHARLOTTE HORLEY, and Thomas Hunter. Another piece on JAMES DEANE mentions MIRIAMA HUNTER spouse of ? I will have to get a correct translation. I am fascinated by all the Hunter connections, especially the Tahitian side, which unfortunately isn't my direct line. The 11 Hunter children's spouses were from Tahiti, England, Denmark, Sweden, France and Germany. The origin of the line is JOHN EDWARD HUNTER and SUSANNAH CHAPMAN married Sydney 1817.
I could scan you the relevant passages re your family. I will be in contact when/if I find more information. Please contact me direct if you wish.

I just found this genealogy file and i was so excited because I am related to the Brothers family. My grand mother is Eva Brothers, daughter of Albert Brothers. Albert is one of Samuel Brothers sons.I don't know much about the Brothers family, only my great grand father was a captain of a ship long long time ago.
I would love to know more about my ancestors.

I was Googling some family history and came across your posting. Jacob Brodersen is my great-great-grandfather. His son, Hans, was my great-grandfather, and Han' son, Leroy, was my grandfather.

I never new there was a Tahiti connection, with brother, Peder.
