Dear Debbie Thank you very much indeed for sending this. I too am so sorry to hear the news of John's death. As you say, he was an avid and interested researcher into his family as well as being a very knowledgeable one too. I do hope that his family will take up his cause and carry it on. 72 seems a young age at which to die and I am sure that he will be sadly missed by many.
