Claims
"I have a legitimate and evidence-based claim of descent from Michael Dooner, Irish convict transported in 1839, but the proof needs one final document — Frank Doonar’s birth certificate (1909) — to name his parents and lock the chain beyond doubt. The evidence chain is strong from Michael → Ipswich children → later Doonar families → Frank (your grandfather)."
