I am John Dod, 1st son of John Alfred Dod and oldest sibling from his 2nd marriage. I am living in Rochester, NY. I have recently retired. I am planning to visit the UK sometime this year and was researching the Dod family in the Isle of Man, one of the places I intend to visit. I came across this posting that you replied to back in 2006. Like you state it is somewhat confusing. I knew that my father had been previously married and had two children.
Although I often thought about making contact but was sure if I should do so. However, from your reply to the post, it it appears that you might like to make contact. I would be happy to make contact. I look forward to your response.
John Dod.
