Hiya all,

Here is a new update for you:

I am now working closely with a museum in Canada. They want to start an expo about the DK259 and it's crew. They've contacted several Bellingers in the area and we had a major breakthrough.. we found them! The whole family is now digging everywhere to find anything they have on William!

The museum is also going to help to get a better contact with the Hastings and Lockhart family. They did send us some stuff, but somehow it stays very quiet so we are missing a lot of info.. But I have good faith :-)

We are still waiting on a reply from the Scudder contacts, I had phone and mail contact but still waiting for a mail with a reply on our questions.

The only problem I still have is Richard Ward Stuart. I never had a respons back from the funeral service nor the cemetary.. so I am stuck. We know we have the right one, just difficoult to get in touch with the right family members.. anyone an idea to get this last missing link complete?

Greetz, Erik

hehehehe what do you think ? :-)

Hiya Chris,

And if you have facebook.. find me there and I invite you to our special group.
