I agree with you Sue. Ultimately, it doesn't matter a fig whether TB acknowledges his ancestry. Guess currently, he doesnt have the time anyway. What matters is what we genealogists locate, how we handle the finds and how we record and share the information.

I have information on Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, adopted into the Leece family in NZ.... the fact whether she knows or not is not important, but it is more important that this is recorded for the future.

Kind regards
