His maternal grandmother, Elvina, was born on Pitcairn Island, and through her he is descended from three of the mutineers on HMAV Bounty:

He is also a descendant of some of the Tahitian women who left Tahiti on HMAV Bounty and settled on Pitcairn Island:

Chris is a direct maternal descendant of Vahineatua and has the mtDNA haplogroup b4a1a1m1 - a polynesian marker from the area around Tahiti.

Chris is a descendent of Mayflower passengers Richard Warren (1583-1628), Francis Billington (abt.1606-1684), John Billington (abt.1580-1630), Elinor (Unknown) Armstrong (abt.1582-aft.1643) and Thomas Rogers (abt.1571-1621) through a sailor who emigrated to Pitcairn Island, Samuel Russell Warren.

Chris is also a descendent of Mayflower passengers John Howland (abt.1598-1673), Elizabeth (Tilley) Howland (bef.1607-1687), John Tilley (bef.1571-abt.1621), Joan (Hurst) Tilley (bef.1568-abt.1621) and a founder of Nantucket, Massachusetts, Tristram Coffin Sr. (1608-1681), through a sailor that shipwrecked on Oeno Island and moved to Pitcairn Island to live, Philip Cook Coffin.

His earliest New Zealand ancestors, the family of Annie Congdon arrived on the ship Westminster in 1842.

The next ship to carry ancestors of his to New Zealand was the Minerva in 1847, carrying NZ Fencible James White and his wife Sarah Ann Coles. James was a leading member of the initial community of Howick in Auckland.

His Double line first appeared in New Zealand on the arrival of the family of Charles Cornelius Double on the ship Rooparell, arriving in 1874.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships by comparing test results with Chris or other carriers of his ancestors' Y-chromosome or mitochondrial DNA. Y-chromosome DNA test-takers in his direct paternal line on WikiTree:
  • Chris Double: Family Tree DNA Y-DNA Test 67 markers, haplogroup R-M269, FTDNA kit #575935
Mitochondrial DNA test-takers in the direct maternal line:
  • Chris Double: Family Tree DNA mtDNA Test Full Sequence, haplogroup B4a1a1m1, FTDNA kit #575935
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Chris:

Chris,

I am sorry, but when the project made Fletcher Christian a Project Protected profile, they took it out of my hands. I am not sure if I CAN add you to the Trusted List. It says on the project page, "You need to be a Profile Manager, Project Coordinator, or Project Leader to edit them." This would be a another good question for the G2G Forum.

I assume that you could create profiles for his family members and link them up.

Hi Chris,

Looks like someone must have asked me to protect it for the Notables project. I added that template so it's clear now. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
