Hi everyone, I too would like to add my condolences at the passing of Debbie JEANS. I only just found out about her passing and was very saddened to hear it. Debbie was a great help to me when I was just starting my research about ten years ago or more. She spent many hours researching three branches of my family tree for me. Without the great help she provided to me I wouldn't have been able to get so much done in such a short time. She was a great researcher and knew her work inside and out. I can't express how much I owe to Debbie and her work. She is going to be deeply missed.
