Find Ancestors

Did you ever contact the people with the name in their GR trees?

Sorry, but there's no point in asking for help if you don't follow the advice you are given.

New post started today, hoping for more info re Bernard.
Advised to continue on here to keep everything together.

Well, some things - there's an earlier thread too:

John, did you ever get a copy of Bernard's possible death cert, as advised on that earlier thread?
