—Jeremy, I am sorry to hear about your Dad. I have been told we are related. I was born John David Allo Jr and I am told your Dad was my father's (Dave Allo) 1st cousin.I have been told stories over the past few years through gatherings with my uncle Ernie (Staten Island).Do you know this side of the family? Again, sorry for your lose, John Allo Jr.March 07

Yes, John - it would be a pleasure to talk with you; I actually have some research on the Bright family that goes back to the 18th century. We are definitely related; the Brights and the Allos intermarried and I've met uncle Ernie once or twice. Please leave me a comment on my talk page (found by clicking my signature and posting on my user's talk page).

Thanks for all of your kind words.

Best,

I am so sorry to hear that Richard Bright passed. I have seen all of his work, but was so taken with his performance in "Looking for Mr. Goodbar", that I will always remember that performance.

Simone Swanson?

[edit]

I'm Richard Bright's son, and my father was neither married to married nor was survived by a Simone Swanson, as was listed when I clicked on his article today. I'm removing her name from the "survived by" fragment at the end.

p.s., your words [above] are very kind. Jeremy Bright 23:58, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Alfonsoneri 20:05, 12 September 2006 (UTC)== Spelling of Matilda or Mathilde? ==[reply]

My grandmother's name was Matilda Scott. She married Ernest Bright and had four children, all named after British kings, of whom Richard was the youngest. Her name was not spelled Matilda from any documentation that I have whatsoever, their marriage certificate reads Matilda.

Perhaps those who are insisting upon the alternative spelling could provide some reason? I'm sorry if I sound rude, I don't mean to. Jeremy Bright 06:36, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry Jeremy...I was the one that made the change of your grandmothers name. I got it from the 1930 US Census and it was spelled that way...I apologize. Marriage certificates are more accurate. I am a huge admirer of your father and also have a memorial page that you might want to check. Its the link on the bottom of the article. Dont get upset if any info is inaccurate because I get it from hundreds of sources. You can contact me on the memorial page by leaving a message. It would be awesome if you can help. Alfonsoneri

Al,

No worries at all. Good name, too, by the way. As I say, the internet has no intonation - I wasn't mad, sorry if it came across like that, I've just been cleaning up the article a little and posted in order to deter a third alteration.

My hat's off to you if you looked up the census! On all my documentation its registered as Matilda, and in her signature its Matilda. Perhaps the census worker took it down incorrectly - she had a thick Scottish brogue, and could well have pronounced it "Mathilde". Jeremy Bright 22:37, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Jeremy.

please accept my condolences. Simone Swanson has a Family tree on Ancestry.com she also has her picture among your father's friend on this site http://www.myspace.com/frankieyale I have provided info from my tree to her as our trees share ancestors (see FORD FAMILY TREE on ancestry .co.uk) I did ask what her relationship to the tree was but as yet no reply. Is this some twisted hackers joke or is she real?

Hello Mr. Ford,

Thanks a lot for your concern. Allow me to shed a little light: Ms. Swanson, a fan of my father's, created the family tree website to aid me in genealogy research, since we share that common hobby. We've talked since I originally posted this, and she has my full support for the Ancestry.com project. She's truly done an awful lot to help me and has gone very far out of her way to help me.

I've put a more personal message on your profile. J. Bright 09:31, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
