The information collected here has come from many years of research, mainly by my mother, Lil Hyde. I have carried on with discovering some more links. There are a few links that are still to be confirmed, but there is more than likely a family connection somewhere. I have found a few links through names on trees that appear here on Tribalpages and I am grateful to the hard work the researchers of these trees have done. I have added the information to my own work, only to enlarge the knowledge we have of our own family; I would hope that they would do the same when coming across useful links back to my research. There has been other information gathered from various internet sources. I have attempted to acknowledge these where possible. Rosemary Probert's scrapbook and Marcel Safier's research has been especially useful. As an aside I wish to pay tribute and remember those members of the Safier family who lost their lives in Treblinka, Aushwitz and the Polish ghetos of the 1940's. The work of Olivia Harris and Mark Fretwell on the Flintoff family must be acknowledged as something special. I must also thank Peter Hyde from Tawa New Zealand who has a wealth of family knowledge.
