    Hi Wayne,

    I purchased your book "Surviving Mother Nature's Tests" after seeing it reviewed in Family Tree magazine. As a geographer and genealogist I loved the maps, graphs and history. One of the weather events you covered was the 1920 Louth flood which caught my attention as I had ancestors living in Louth around that time. I just wanted you to know that I really appreciated your pointing me towards using weather data in my family stories and have said so in my blog https://andersonwarstories.blogspot.com/ and have included your blog in my blog list as I feel that other genealogists will enjoy learning about using this type of contextual information when writing their own stories.

    Helen
