So that’ll be the Uncle Jim. Dad’s brother. Who was in the Merchant Navy (Oh Really?)
And who died “mysteriously” in a helicopter crash.
About a year after he came to our house (I was there) and asked his big bruv (my Dad) to be executor of his will.
The same Uncle Jim who….rewind to previous posts?…who went to Russia and Estonia in search of OUR collective ancestor (Admiral Samuel Greig) who was something to do with the Russian Navy in the 1700’s.
Oh. And – previous posts – one of Admiral Sam’s grandchildren (with an in – pronounceable Russian name) was sorta connected with Michael Faraday of Faraday cage fame.
A – zzzzzzzzzzzz as another Jim in my life wrote and sang about!
