i am very sorry to hear of Christophers death,he was a true legend on rootschat and not just on the irish boards.the amount of work he put in to help people and to find new resources was unbelieveable.

he was the only poster that you just had to read whenever he posted, just to see what he had to say.the help he has given will always be found on this site and people will continue to learn from his old posts for years to come,so Christopher will not be forgotten. rest in peace Christopher.

RIP Christopher you shall be sadly missed by your friends here.


Scotmum Christopher would be roud to call you a friend. What a nice tribute. Snap Tony :)

How very sad.

Christopher embodied the true spirit of RootsChat.

He will be sorely missed by all the many friends he made on here, as well as by those of us who didn't know him too well, but always read his interesting posts.


Rest in peace Christopher.

Best wishes, Judy :-))
