Dear Donald, 

I am contacting you through Rob Tomkinson, since he informed that you are perhaps the most informed member of the family regarding the Tomkinson of Leek, Sttaford. My name is Ignacio Solveyra Tomkinson, I am 33y.o originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina and I am a descendant of the Tomkinson of Leek, Endon and Park Lane.  I am attaching here below a copy of the main genealogycal scheme that I have for my branch. Also I am working on and I have the descendants of both Brothers "Thomas and Henry Peake Tomkinon" in Uruguay and Argentina. I hope to hear your comments soon and hopefully with that information we may be able to find common roots on Leek or Staffordshire.Please note that the genealogy is in both English and Spanish since I didnt finish to translate all the document as yet, I can send to you the final version in few days. 

Warm Regards

Ignacio
