The Master and his Apprentice...

[Ken Smith]

This may sound strange but a few years ago from a genealogy website I corresponded via email with a living descendant of Samuel and William Gilkes.

A few months ago I was contacted by a living relative/descendant of John Hart while searching his roots.

A few days ago I was contacted by someone about the Forster Royal George basses for a personal quest in connection with an English Museum. That persons middle/maiden name was of course Forster, what else!

All I need now is a relative of Charles Harris who first trained Gilkes and I can wrap up this whole Forster School English family business.. lol
