That's what family historians do. We can't help it. We're just curious.nosey ...

No, it's really all just a big mystery to solve isn't it? You feel compelled to chase up as many leads as you can find, and with this family there is quite a lot out there due to their wealth.

 So do I Jool ;) However like you said the information is freely available and they will

see from the threads that we're harmless and just fascinated by how the 'other half live.' With

all the super sleuths on these threads it's amazing that there are still mysteries to be solved ;D 8)

Well, you can all start pacing the floor as I've sent off an email about five minutes ago.  :o

Of course we may not get a response, particularly if they think my email is some sort of scam (hopefully they will Google and see we are 100% legitimate), or they feel we are invading their privacy, which of course we are, but as Ruskie says, that's what genealogists do!  ;D ;D

Anyway, let's hope we have an ending to this thread that we are all hoping for and we get actual contact from a living descendant, positive identification of the other people in the photos and without wanting to push our luck, maybe more photos of the Edwardian Moons!

Once again, excellent work from Jool and her detective skills!  ;D

I hope they don't dismiss your email as a scam of some sort. It would be a bit of a weird one though as you're not really asking for anything or telling them to click on a link. Or. Did you provide a link to these Moon threads?  :-\

On tenterhooks here ....

Hopefully I worded the email so they will keep reading through and do some research on Rootschat to show that it isn't a scam (sign of the times isn't it). I also provided a link to this thread so with a bit of luck they will read it from beginning to end.

It would be so nice and a fitting "ending" to this thread even if they popped in and said hello!  ;D

Best of luck Caz, very interested in any update.. I'm sure the Moons and Clifton Brown's were friends from law school way back as Edward and Ernest Moon studied law.
