We love volunteers; We love self-starters. John Sayers, who passed on 29 October, was both. Many people, especially those with home child ancestors, were helped to discover their story by John.
A member of the BIFHSGO Hall of Fame, for several years, in the days when BIFHSGO featured discovery tables at monthly meetings, John was there with cheerful advice and English resources.

Good tribute to a friend.
Very sorry to hear of this. Thank you John. BT
A real gentleman and a dedicated family historian, researcher and good all round person. His true memorial will be all the incredible work he did to identify, record and share information on British home children. A job well done, a life well lived.
A true loss to the genealogy community. My condolences to his family and friends.
