    I never actually met Robert but we communicated a few years ago because we shared enough DNA that we were probably cousins. I helped him do his family tree on Ancestry.com and there it will remain for his descendants to enjoy. We never did prove how we were related, but perhaps in the future I will. I am very sorry to hear of his passing.
