RE: "Nothing to fear but fear itself"

Hi Laurel,

I'll contact Gordon tonight and see what he's got. :)
While it may be true that I'm a descendant of William Sinclair through a
marriage to an Inkster, I'm not sure if he'll have anything regarding any
Inksters. But any lead is being than no lead!

Juli Inkster a relative? Not too sure about that, maybe somewhere up the
line?
Knowing the number of Inksters that are around, it's not entirely unlikely,
lol.

Thanks for the contact!

Jeff

Jeff,
    I remember you from messages long ago and wondered whether you were
still around.  Since then I have learned that Gordon Holmes of BC also
descends from William Sinclair of HBC  and I have copies of his research.
   You can contact him at   lafleur@home.com

     I also recognize the name Inkster as that of Julie Inkster the golfer.
Any relation?   She was a close friend of our neighbors, now deceased.
Laurel
