OPC Database for Cornwall<\/a> I have managed to update the Sandercock and Ward families extensively. There is still a lot more to do, of course, but we are now a lot further along the log than before. Pat’s Patient ancestors are proving a little more difficult although we have gone back one more generation.<\/p>\nNigel Chalk sent me a lot of information on his, and cousin Dilys’s, family. I have updated the database with his information and made a few corrections here and there. I still have a lot of census data to add though. As I do for the Farley family – thanks to Susie Pearce for her updates to that branch.<\/p>\n
Lots of other information has also come my way and, as ever, I am most grateful for all the contributions no matter how small. Please keep it coming …<\/p>\n
Best wishes,<\/p>\n

I know, It’s been a while since the last message. I can’t help it, I’m a better researcher than I am a blogger! However, here we go… Again, I am very grateful for all the information being passed to me from various quarters.

<\/a>An unexpected success from the Find a Grave<\/a> website was the headstone for Max Laddy (aka Max Lewinski). I left a request on the site for a picture and Woose came up with the goods. Max was a member of the highly secret 3 Troop 10 Commando and was stationed in Aberdyfi for a while – he met his wife, Margaret Sillars Rees, while he was trainging there. According to Peter Master, in the book Striking Back – A Jewish Commando’s War Against The Nazi’s, “Max was a tall, blondish, square-shouldered, upright man with a lined, weathered face and a straggly mustache. He was a bit older than many of us and was always good-humoured and cheerful.”<\/p>\n
