Hi Steve,

Hope you're well! I believe Harry may be my great-grandfather but trying to figure this out. Do you have any more info on Harry? We're trying to track down a family tree for my father who doesn't know and this would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,
Callum

I'm looking for Rodney Ward. He was playing in this group with Kenny Williams, who died 1972. He was the best friend of my husband. Can you help me!
