Pam

How do you connect to this man?

Why do you think he died in 1945?

No--one has been able to find anything to back up that idea.

Have you tried looking for info yourself using freebmd?

www.freebmd.org.uk

You refer to children.......and name two of them.

When and where were they born?

Also.............. please look at the info posted..................and comment on it

Oh dear Reggie.......whatever is the matter - I presume your 'new' query is aimed at me? :-S


'new' to me is someone with under around 10 posts. I don't send messages to those with lots of postings but I DO try and help those who haven't used the Community boards very much.


That's what we are doing isn't it - trying to help fellow members in as friendly a manner as possible? Much as we would like to be treated really. :-)
