Is what I hear true? Did anybody see Central TV news last evening (20th Feb)? I had a phone call relaying the information from it, second-hand, that Marjorie Moore had been involved in an accident and had been killed. I was told that, whilst on holiday with Richard in South Africa, she had taken a safari excursion and that the land rover in which she was travelling had overturned. Richard was not involved and is safe. If that news is correct, it is indeed a very sad loss to the genealogical community and my, and I am sure all your, sincere sympathies go out to Richard and her family. Chris Watts

There is a very brief note in today's on-line version of the Mirror that says : "Meanwhile, two Britons were killed on a sightseeing tour of a South African game reserve when their car overturned. Sharon Bryant, 47, of South Milford, Yorks, and Marjorie Moore, 67, of Swindon, died on Sunday." There's no biographical note so I for one do not know if this is 'our' Marjorie or not.

Only saw Marjorie in action once here in Australia together with her husband, but she was a power in the genealogical community. Tom
