    Default Guy Etchells

    I am sorry to report news of the death of a well known member of our forum Guy Etchells who died on the 4 October. Guy was a very experienced genealogist who willingly shared his knowledge with others.
    RIP Guy and condolences to his family.

    Oh no. Guy was one of the first to help me get started. His expertise was amazing, and he will be missed.
    RIP, Guy.

    Very sorry to hear about Guy. He always talked such good sense. You need people who are well grounded and knowledgable to contribute as he did over the years.

    Agree whole heartedly with all the sentiments expressed above.
    His advice was always spot on and he will be sorely missed.

    A great loss to his own Family, but also with his depth of knowledge and expertise, to genealogy researchers everywhere.

    He had an almost lifelong dedication to family history, both his own and through his efforts to have records made available to fellow researchers. Thank you, Guy - whether we know it or not, we are all in your debt.

    As everyone has already said, Guy's death is a sad loss to the genealogy community. RIP Guy, and my condolences to your family and friends.

    I need a lot more than the paltry twenty fingers and toes I have to count the number of times I accessed his main amazing website, though I've now found he had another for tombstones and monumental inscriptions which I may also have looked at at some time in the distant past but can't remember.

    If any of the links don't work, follow Guy's own advice and use the Wayback Machine.

    When I tried his sites earlier, I couldn’t get a reply. I suggest that people make a note of the urls that Pam has provided as the Wayback Machine will as for them.
