Hi Paul, I only just saw your reply. We are related but I cannot ring u cause I live in Australia. U could email me . Just a couple of weeks ago I sighted a record for Nicolaas Casparus Smale. I could not place him, I wonder if u would know him? I think my aunt Susara married a David Smale, is it the same one? They must be related cause my ggrandfather was Nicolaas Casparus O'Neill. Cheers.
