Please tell us when he held the office, and whatever else you know that may be helpful

Also, tell us how much research you have done yourself, to avoid duplication of effort

If you know when and where he was born, put his details in 'search all trees' to find links on this site

Researching:
I am in no way related to anyone for whom I do lookups To acknowledge any info I may post, please do NOT click on my name. There is a large white box entitled 'Add your reply' for the purpose.
