Many thanks to Paige Close for sending me off down a branch tracing the descendants of Henry Mead Close (1785) and his family in America. In particular, we have a number of WW1 and WW2 draftees, as well as one from the American Civil War. (134 new people and 150 new images).
For one reason and another, this update was a bit bumpier than usual, so apologies to anyone who has had a less than pleasant experience in the trees over the past few days. I’m also having a few problems with some images not appearing on the trees for some reason. I don’t have an answer to this yet.
