He is my Great Great Great Grand Father by Adoption. My Grand Mother was Helen Leslie Poole (nee Spence) Her Grand Father was Bradford Leslie, son of Charles Robert Leslie. We still carry the family name "Leslie"in our family. My niece is Helen Leslie and my sister is also Helen Leslie, still carrying on the family name of "Leslie". My Father was adopted by Helen Leslie Poole (nee Spence). It is a shame my Father never told us about his Great Grand Father, I only found out doing the Family Tree.
