Moses Pike, 1922

Anybody who knows Moses or his family is asked to contact me at dapike@mun.ca.

Also, if you are a male Pike/Pyke (or you know one) who may be willing to do a genealogical DNA test, then please check out the Pike DNA Project for which I am a volunteer coordinator. There are several Pike/Pyke families that are not yet represented in the project, and for whom participants are wanted.

To the Honourable the Supreme Court or to One of the Honourable
the Judges thereof.
