Tristan da Cunha Births and Christenings

Birth of Leah-Faye Swain

We are delighted to announce the birth of Leah-Faye Swain to proud parents Danny Swain and Lynette Green in Cape Town on 13th August 2018.

The family returned home aboard MFV Geo Searcher, arriving back on Sunday 18th November. Since then Lynette has taken the following wonderful photographs of Tristan's youngest resident on the island.

Ellen Rogers celebrated her 100th birthday when Leah-Faye was in Cape Town.
Here she greets her great-granddaughter Leah-Faye
and it is lovely to see the smile on both their faces at this special meeting.
