  • Hello, Gary/Sandy. Are you on the maternal or paternal side of the Hawkens? GDH is my maternal grand-father. Interestingly, two of my cousins, Norman and Rae, are coming to stay with us in England on the 2nd of August for a few days. I've never met them before so it's going to be really interesting to meet them. Do you know them? They are the children of Enid Earl,my mother's sister. Anyway, let me know all about yourselves and send me a family tree. For my tree you go to 'MyHeritage.com' There are 2 trees there. The 2nd tree is the detailed one.(The first is just immediate family.) Let me know if you have any problems. Yours, Tony
