Thank you all very much. The map was interesting, very large concentration on the east coast. My husband googled Swedish white pages and found several Lings which he got a kick out of.

Thank you all once again

Hi

Not sure if anyone can help but my husband is trying to trace his family name of Ling. He so far has discovered that his ancestors come from the Norfolk area but is very interested in the name's historical origins. He thinks it maybe Scandinaian/Viking. Any help would be appreciated.

Kind regards

Miss Lilly

Dear DeeBoneham

Thanks for the tip. I will definitely spend some time in a few bookstores and look through them. There are quite a few books out about spitfires and like you say I may strike it lucky
Thanks again

Miss Lilly

WOW 

I got the biggest shock when I saw your messages. I can't thank you both enough particularly you Alamoon. It has been over 2 years since my last posting and I was just off to bed when I checked my emails and there was your messages. I was glued to the screen for the next 2 hours. I didn't get to bed till 1.30 in the morning 

Ian was my Father's cousin and I don't believe the family ever knew what really happened to him and to read the report and the letters was just amazing and heart breaking. Thank you very much.

I do have one question does anyone know how I might go about finding out what U.S. units were in that area of Italy at that time it would be nice to know who those Americans were that took the time to bury him.

Thanks so much again I can't wait to tell my cousins and siblings about this info 

Kind regards

Miss Lilly
