<person I=13246>Robert John Anderson</person> aka Bob Anderson is born in Wanganui, New Zealand but came to the U.K. in May/ June 1967 on board the liner Achille Lauro. My ship was one of the last to navigate the Suez Canal before the outbreak of the six-day war between Egypt and Israel. I then settled in Burton-on-Trent, Staffordshire where I still live with my wife Elizabeth (Liz). Our three children, their spouses and five grandchildren also reside in the U.K.

He has been doing ancestry research for some years and even made a website about his family history just as this website. https://www.bobanderson.co.uk

==DNA==

Both Bob and myself as well as the cousin of my father did a DNA test on Ancestry and we are all 3 a match. But Bob had no ancestor last names that matched ours. However i knew that my 3rd great grandfather <person I=7548>James Sullivan</person> used the lastname Ford on several census. With this thought in mind, i looked at Bob's family tree on Ancestry and found an anchestor called Henry James Ford in Bobs tree. This ment that Henry James could be a son of James Sullivan and Ann Johnson and carried the name Ford when Henry moved to New Zealand. So i contacted Bob via Ancestry and told him i might have found a breakthrough. We messaged some back and forth and we came to the conclusion that <person I=7619>Henry James</person> was indeed the son of James Sullivan.

Bob is my 3rd cousin once removed and is confirmed via DNA testing.
