	There is only the medal card on there. A lot of WW1 army records were destroyed during WW2 in a fire

	Can you remove the word Ancestry from the title before somebody reports the post :-)

	Who says you can't use the word Ancestry in the title? I've seen it many times.

	GR have not said we cannot use the word ancestry...this all started about nine months ago I seem to remember both you and I were rr'd on the same night Jude by some pathetic wanabee modorater

	Even if the pathetic wanabee rr'd the post it wouldn't do any good. The title remains and that's where the terrible dirty word is.

	As the question has been answered and the poster has seen it...does it matter whether it goes or stays?

	Estelle has said that there is no restriction on using the names of other sites ............ ......... we are just not supposed to denigrate them, or to denigrate GR

	This is so ridiculous...no one can help with this request because we can';t see it . I think it is about time we named and shamed who ever is guilty of RR'd. If any one has an idea who it is name them that will stop it :-\| I for one am fed up with it and think it is about time Genes put an end to it...they must know who it is. I would have NO hesitation in posting there names. sue :-S Edit ....... Jude if anyone sent me a threating email I would report them quick smart to Genes.

	Sorry jude ..did not realise your emails were from Genes. I have always thought of the GR police as some very bored members who have nothing better to do with there time. :-S sue
