It is kinda scary to think that the typical family in Kentucky probably has more branchs in their family tree compared to those Pitcairns.

Ever read or see "Mutiny on the Bounty?" That island is inhabited by the direct descendants of those men.

Pitcairn only receives "air mail" when an NZRAF plane going out on long distance maneuvers offers to take along mail bags and use them for "practice bombing runs".

Thanks!!

You know I really was not so sure of that fact, being they so cleverly disguised that information on every available space of their website.

I used to talk to Tom Christian a lot on Ham Radio. He was Mr. Ham Radio of Pitcairn. It was a very desirable place to work.
I believe he is dead now.

Hence the large number of people with the surname 'Christian' - descendants of Fletcher Christian.

A much more interesting country is Molvania: Molvanian travel guide

Good thing this island is way out in the South Pacific. Canada could be in danger of a takeover if they were very close.
