Just goes to show that you never know where your rootschat posts will lead!
Still keeping my fingers crossed that somewhere out there are the means to knock down my brickwalls.

Thanks Jackie and Trish. You must never give up trying. I’m still smiling about it now! Still got brick walls though! One is like the Great Wall of China, but I refuse to give up hope now.

Just read an amazing story reported by BBC’s Giancarlo Rinaldi regarding the discovery of relatives of an Italian POW Francesco D’Inverno, who sadly died when the Arandora Star sank, and had been buried in an unmarked grave in Scotland. Through detailed research of Raffaello Gonella, and with the help of Facebook, he managed to trace this man’s family. Incredible story with a happy ending that spurs you on to keep trying and not giving up.
Good research can achieve fantastic results .
