Hello John.
I am a family ferret and have you, a link, in the long, long chain of the Rixon family.
I actually sent details of our connection at Christmas and wonder if it got lost in the mail or festivities. I was aking your permission to copy your dad’s photo when he returned from war as I have every soldier listed and try to honour them with anything appropriate even if it is only the ship they sailed on.
Would love to ask a coupla questions about your family and happy to give you history back to our convict who enriched this country with some wonderful people. My project is a personal hobby and will never go any further than my computer and family members.
Regards,
Judy

Hi John,
