the death of a great royal genealogist

William Addams Reitswiesner died today after a long battle with rectal cancer.  He was 56 years old.  He was one of the best damn royal genealogists ever

Oh, Marlene, that is tragic! I read a post from him in reply to a request for help on the Gen_Royal list only last Monday. He was a great man.

Yes, R.I.P.

Thanks to him I know that Kate Middleton is Prince William's 15th cousin and a lot about the ancestry of other recent royal spouses too.
