I received this information on the passing of Tom Steele the founder of the Steele National Repository. If anyone has an obituary for Tom, I would love to post it at the web site. Jeri Steele Hi Jeri: I am Tom Steele's sister, Nancy Steele-Regelin. I am writing to let you know that Tom passed away on December7, of a heart attack. He was continuing his work on the Steele family history - I think trying to get everything in order for both his two sons and his sisters. Thank you for mentioning him in the web-site. Regards, Nan Regelin
