in the beginning

My reason for studying the family history was to find the truth. For many years as a youngster I had listened to stories of treasure ships, pirates and spies. The stories seemed more exciting than books like 'Treasure Island' and 'The Scarlet Pimpernel'. As with all legends, there is a thread of truth. However, the obsession with the family history I soon discovered was not spurred by the excitement of discovering where the treasure lay hidden, or proving our links with Frederic Chopin, or even our Royalist connections. No, these crazy pursuits all came much later. The family obsession began with John Francis Chopin my great grandfather. He , like myself, wanted the truth. He was brought up as an orphan when his parents died tragically while he was still an infant.

In order to emphasise and corroborate the truth, where possible, I have provided numerous documents in order that the reader may determine for themselves the accuracy of the information portrayed here. Moreover a work like this, involving countless trips to numerous archives in several countries, does not come cheap. For this reason all data contained on this website is subject to copyright of the author. Use of information contained herein is at the express permission of the author.

I have to say this!........

Blair rakes it in!

He is supposed to be neutral in his role as the Quartet's representative to the Middle East but is a position that has made him a very rich man. In fact there have been calls to oust him from his £2,000,000 a year job. Personally, I feel hiring a war-monger responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of civilians as a peace envoy, idiotic beyond belief. It sends out a message to all of us here in the UK that crime really does pay! Click here for previous comments.
