Misc. Notes
Unknown name for father of Peter Goss in an email dated 25 July 2017. Peter was adopted at birth.

Peter writes, “It's only this year though that I've found my birth father & family, as a direct consequence of my DNA test - two first cousins on his side had also done the test & things moved pretty quickly once they got in touch with me. He was born in Ireland and was only in NZ for 7 years or so from the mid 50s.”
“We were in England for a family wedding last month (in Cornwall, where my niece married an Oliver, but not as it turned out with Cornwall / Devon roots). While there we met two new half brothers, a number of cousins, my 89 year old father, who unfortunately is suffering from dementia, & his wife who particularly given the historic circumstances (they got married within a month or so of my being conceived ... ) was very welcoming. All very surreal, & something that just wouldn't have happened before ready availability of DNA testing”.
