its really quite exciting and puting new light that was in such a dark place ,
ive never been able to trace my gramps side and perhaps this is why .
It does all seem to be similar with names and places , how fasinating.
I will try to see if i can find out any more about the harry , and perhap find a link .

do you think that sometim,es they may have put false names on birth certificates ?

that is so interesting , this is certainly new light on something ive been looking for well for the last 10 years and got no where .

Do you think that they may of just took them on and changed there name or did they sometimes make up names on certificates ?

im not sure where to go now , but thanks all for some really good info , perhaps i should look for harry and where he was born /
