Palmerston Island, Where Everyone Is Related

Palmerston Island is a coral atoll in the Cook Islands in one of the most isolated part of the Pacific Ocean. The tiny Pacific island has no airport, and is visited by a supply ship only twice a year. But Palmerston's fame comes not only from the fact it is a perfect island paradise, but from its unique history.

The entire population of Palmerston Island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean has been found to speak with a West Country accent - because the residents all descend from one man from Gloucestershire, William Marsters.
