The Committee
Dr John East
-
Angela East has enjoyed a long career as a performing cellist and early music specialist. She still performs worldwide with the ensemble Red Priest of which she is a founding member.
She has been interested in her ancestry for many years, partly because her parents, who suffered greatly in the second World War, told her very little about their background and in fact knew very little themselves.
She now has over a thousand relatives in her tree but the vast majority of those are through marriages, since most of the Easts in her family had only daughters.

Dr John East MBE. John is a retired Consultant Physician, having spent 54 years in practice, half in the Army and half as a civilian. He has been interested in his family history for many years and perhaps now will have the time to get down to some proper research and extend his understanding of his ancestry.

Amanda has been interested in family history since her teens when her grandmother told her about ancestral family from the Bahamas.
She has built up a number of Ancestry trees for herself and friends. She was the journal editor of a number of issues between 2001 & 2005 before rejoining the committee as journal editor again at the AGM in 2013.
She is always busy working or volunteering but enjoys reading any articles submitted for publication in Points East!
