It was also informative to read about History of Holland House which Mrs Diana Beswick (Day) was a part in helping to writing this book, by Christine Collins.

I didn't know anything about a UK family member until contacted by a researcher in the UK (I'm in Australia) asking for information. The researcher had been searching for two years regarding an Uncle who was KIA in WW2 with his crew on a Lancaster Bomber - his research had come to a dead end. My family member was one of the crew and through my own research with My Heritage and smart matching, I found more information that re-started the other researcher and provided plenty of information for both of us. Amazingly enough I found a sister of one of the Bomber crew who was still alive today. There is a 18 year age difference between the brother and sister and this is why she is still living. Not only did she have photo's of the crew that were taken when they visited her mother, we also had her valuable and special memories, even though she was only very young at the time. I've found that my family member was not only just with the RAF but also that they were one of the first squadrons of the elite Path Finder group which made such a difference, and many sacrifices, to the success of winning in the air WW2.
