‘Some Australian families have deaf members across several generations, and these multi-generational deaf families can provide a window into the ways sporting participation has shaped Deaf communities. Different sports have been popular in different eras, opportunities for sporting participation and competition have increased, and these events have brought deaf people together and enriched their social and cultural ties. This family tree shows five generations of the Johnston – Shaw – Levitzke-Gray families, most of whom have been active in deaf sports. ‘
