"Your interesting site came up in a search using Christchurch Priory". Jack Bell USA.
"Read your material on Christchurch. Just wanted to let you know that someone over here appreciates your efforts".

"Sue Newman answered all of my questions about my Christchurch relatives, and even visited and photographed their gravesites for me. She was an amazingly fast researcher, answering my emails from California in the middle of the night and gaining access to information I wouldn't have found otherwise. She's a real expert on Christchurch, and a creative and enthusiastic genealogist. I really appreciate her work on my behalf. ".
