I wanted to write this blog because Dudley and Kathleen Westgarth, my grandparents Char and YarYar, talked to me about the family. All the things I remember them telling me have come true as I research the past.
My Aunt Mollie also was responsible for starting my interest in the family, telling me about her brothers and sister. Her kindness to me is always in my heart. It was after she died that I found the letters of John Glasson, which I will be putting up in due course.
I have been putting information on the net which reflects the research efforts of the family of David and Judy Westgarth as well as my own. In this way we can make this information available to other researchers, instead of in folders of photocopies and photos!
