Find Living Relatives

The crews remains were reburied in Jonkerbos War Cemetery Nijmegen in 1953 . Went out there 2 weeks ago and found a note on the grave of Jack Heath next to my Dads and after returning to England posted on here and overjoyed with help that his family contacted me last weekend, so hopefully I will get the same results,from John Horwoods family. If you look on w4960 you will see a face to his name

Looks like the Elizabeth Rebecca of Livingstone Street could be a relative.

Thank you ArgyllGran for finding more information on John Horwood, my father was one of the crew killed on the same Lancaster. So far found 4 families of the crew so would much like to find them all. By the way the web site W4960 was done for me by a very kind Dutchman. I will look on Ancestry in the trees. Like you waiting for the 2021 census to come out, just hope I am still around. Many,thanks once again , you have given me information I didn't know
