Dear Cary,

let me first compliment you on your excellent and unique work!

Indeed it is Wilfrid, as listed both on his 1904 naturalisation papers and his You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. .

I hadn't noticed the welcome message here, so perhaps someone of our kind Mods will know what to do :-)

When I came in, all of these messages were already in place, and I had never noticed them either. I think only David can edit this welcome message.

Here's a trivia question:

what link exists between Wilfrid Voynich and Paul McCartney?

Ah, the 6 degrees to Kevin Bacon question, eh? 

So, I'm sure the actual answer is going to be a lot more fun - and shorter - than this but since I'm catching up on my genealogy work again (a never ending process, I assure all of you...for more than the last 20 years), here is my answer (from You are not allowed to view links.

They're slightly more closely connected than I am to either one of them (25 from Voynich and 26 from McCartney).

I suggest not clicking the spoiler button above until you answer Rene's question first, lest you get distracted...genealogy will do that to you!

Perhaps not surprisingly, this is not the answer I was looking for
