It is all very interesting.. When I have time I will tell you about a chap from New Jersey (Robert Sidden) who has done a full history of the sash namew and came accross to meet my folks in Hull, England! I missed him as I was in Egypt at the time..
He knew all about my dads father and all kinds of interesting things.. he then went to Alsace to meet with more Sash's hence my statement...
Have you a photo?
