Generations... seeks to generate links and share stories from all generations which have their starting point in the merger of the Roy and Royes families in Cairns, QLD, Australia in 1940. The links have extended to cousins in "parallel branches". There are, below, two family trees that overlap because of mutual interests. For an idea of the family names in each database, click on the surname links below.
