Twigs of a Tree a Family Tale: from a Priest Defrocked by the French Revolution to English Pioneering on the Pampas: Connecting Walkers, Cattys, Good

This is a family story of 19th century migration, centered on an ancestor whose sense of adventure carried him to the furthest corners of the earth. Travelling from England to the gold fields of New Zealand and on to the Pampas of Argentina, John George Walker eventually, after some forty years, returned home. For him and his family, the general catastrophe of the First World War turned into personal tragedy by claiming the lives of two of his three surviving sons.
