Great yarn with the women’s group today about finding family – starting with the Enares (nee Innares) family.

These women are from Tanna Island – Middle Bush where my grandfather was taken from the beach at the age of 12 years old.

My grandfather gave his children a traditional name each to relink them to their homelands on Tanna. They are Phyllis Netuka, Emily Youko, Joyce Youma, Naru, Neru, Kias, William Diaho, Daniel Diking, David Nakapuai, Nasuven, James Naliene

Father-Moses Topay Enares who’s parents were listed as Tobo Enares and Netuka.

Mother-Emily May Enares born Irrawarra Plantation Dennison Far North QLD Australia to mother Bookey (Boak) Toar and father Tarre (Tarry) Sendy.
