THE EDITOR, Sir:

On behalf of my family and I, we wish to thank you for publishing my letter captioned 'Missing father' in your February 27, 2013 edition.

Since your publication, I have been in contact with an official from the Genealogy Department in Spanish Town, Jamaica, who has been very helpful, and is doing some research for us.

Once again, our sincerest thanks for your kind consideration and cooperation. May The Gleaner continue to grow from strength to strength.
