(the historical perspective to this site)
In an attempt to get the "M"s together - here is an archive comms that I have with all Ms on the WWW (created Sept 1997, at that time I knew of only FOUR! (and Oct 1996 it was 3)) Such was the Internet back then :)
Bruce Rawstorne Metelerkamp BSc MSc [well, I am first on the list only because I put up this page!] email me at broozm at the great old gmail
Carl in Cape Town (cmeteler AT cssa.org.za)
Peter in Bristol UK (Peter.Metelerkamp AT bristol.ac.uk).
Tim's email is PTLTMK AT persetel.co.za and can be found in Joeys at Persetal.
Tim and I have, together, got the family history up on the net, and plan to keep the family tree similarly up to date and on the web! Update 2015 -- TIM - please make contact again
