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,
I came upon your site whilst looking for content for my son’s home learning programme for this year. I’m quite excited about what you have gathered and your ideas and would like to add your site to my list of valuable resources. Julie
