Note to those requesting lookups from adam (username adamand)
« on: Thursday 22 September 11 17:33 BST (UK) »
Hi,
I am not familiar with RootsWeb, so apologies if this is posted in the wrong place (moderators, feel free to move/copy to the most appropriate place).
I am adam's daughter.  I know he helped a lot of people on these boards, and he was always very happy to help with lookups and local knowledge. Unfortunately, I have some sad news.  My father passed away earlier this month so any requests outstanding will obviously not now be answered.

Claire, I am so dreadfully sorry to read this sad news. Your father was someone we all looked up to, not only for his knowledge but also for the considerable time he was willing to spend helping other people.

My thoughts are with you and your family.

Pauline.

My condolences to you and your family on the passing of your father.  Adam helped so many people, myself included.  His dedication to help others, especially those seeking information on their ancestors, was unsurpassable.

Sincere condolences to you and all the family on your terrible loss.  I, like so many others had the utmost respect and admiration for your father's willingness to help others and his dedication to documenting the gravestones of Durham.

He shall be deeply missed within these pages.
