The Dancy-Tribe merger became the Mettey-Gillespie-Dancy-Tribe connection during WWII when
my mom, Marigold Jean Naomi Dancy of London, married my dad, Geo Russell Mettey of Xenia,
Ohio during the time my dad was stationed in England.
I want to thank everyone who is helping with this never ending project, in particular, Steve
Williams, Joan Mettey, Michele Jones, Penny Akers, Joe Mettey, John Dancy, Micke Dancy, John and
Mary Wray, and Graham Tribe. And,
I want to say how much I am enjoying meeting and chatting with my newfound relatives all over the
world!
