Not so famous
This section is for biographies of islanders and those with strong connections with the island who contributors to Jerripedia believe deserve to have their lifetime's achievements put on record. If you have ancestors (perhaps your parents or grandparents) whose tale deserves to be told, please add them to this section? Perhaps you have a family tree on Jerripedia and would like to record some information about one or more of the people in that tree. Go ahead and add them to this section and then create a link to the new page from the family tree.
Do not write about people who are still alive, unless you have obtained their permission and think that there is an historical element to their story (war service, evacuation etc) which is particularly worth telling now.
