	Thanks for posting that LadyScozz - yet another tribute to Madiba, I have been following the funeral service on BBC this morning, so many tributes being paid to him during the service.
	Researching: I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"

	My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends and the people of South Africa - the people of South Africa have lost a great leader and the world has lost a great statesman :-( "Death is something inevitable. When a man has done what he considers to be his duty to his people and his country, he can rest in peace. I believe I have made that effort and that is, therefore, why I will sleep for the eternity" - Nelson Mandela 1996. R.I.P. Madiba <3
