The name on its own didn't ring any bells for me, but the mention of the green hat jogged my memory.

Very sad news indeed.

I'm sure Christopher will continue his research and give good advice even from so far away.

Rest easy, Christopher, you will not be forgotten.

What sad news.

Christopher was a great enthusiast for family history research, and it has been the energy of him and others of a similar disposition that has done so much to make Rootschat a special place.

Oh, dear, - what a loss!

Rarely do we find a gentleman such as Christopher, and I'm sure all RC-ers will miss him greatly.
I live in Sydney, Australia, and I'm researching: Powell, Tatham, Dunbar, Dixon, Mackwood, Kinnear, Mitchell, Morgan, Delves, & Anderson
