If you are looking for a link between Percy and your parents, it might help if you told us who your parents were??

Dea x

Hi Dea, I am not sure if there is a link, My grandparents are MAX LEONARD MORITZ, B: 14/2/1914, D: 9/1/2004 and ALMA GREEN, B: 18/4/1913 D:30/4/2004,
their parents: TRESSELLION WILLIAM MORITZ, B: 16/9/1889 D:27/7/1958 and MAY ELIZABETH SANDY, B: 2/8/1893 D: 24/9/1954 AND JOHN GREEN, B:27/12/1863 D:1926 and ISABELLA KAY, B 1872 D: 27/4/1942. If you could help with a link it would be great. I'm not sure if he was related or a friend of the family. I think it comes from the Moritz/Green side of the family as it was with photos of my mother as a baby and her wedding photo, she married in 1955, some 40 after he died.
