🔎Research Question

Was Fred Jones Daisy Olive JONES father? If not, who was her father?[1]

❔Background

This connects to my larger research goal of learning about each of my ancestors' arrival in Australia. Daisy's father is recorded as Fred Jones. However, preliminary DNA research seems to contradict the official records.
