Hi Heather,

Is there a NZ connection with these people? if not it would be better to have the thread moved over to the Leicestershire board.

Hi Janette and Trish

Thank you very much for the information. My husband is a descendant of Richard Smith and is a New Zealander. I am new to Rootschat so if we will get better results on the Leicesterboard I think  I should move the topic there.
