Hi Mel
Thanks for your message. I do not have a lot of information except for a copy of the family tree going back to the 1600s. I will be seeing my Mum this weekend and Claude was her grandfather so I will let her know what you have said. I don't think anyone in NZ knows about the link with royalty. That's an interesting fact. Thanks for getting in touch. Is there any information you need from NZ to fill in any gaps you may have? Let me know. We will talk again soon.
Regards,
Dee
