How many pounds do you loose, Fly ;-) ;-)

Barb, you can actually use cameras as long as they don't have flash. So I'll take pictures on me phone :-D :-D :-D :-D

Yes Belle good luck with your search hope you get the

answers you are looking for :-D :-D <3

Thanks.....I'm that excited :-D :-D :-D Hope I won't be disappointed :-0 :-0

Not enough Belle ;-)

What are you hoping to find Belle :-)

All of my GF's WW1 service records.....fingers crossed :-D :-D

I was looking through some old postcards the other day and one of them was addressed to him as 2nd Airman and yet I'd never noticed it before. I have so many photos of him in his uniforms one of which was a Scottish Regiment. :-) :-)

I am asking this question because it fascinates me.

How long have you both been researching and what was it that made you start.

If you want me to mind my own....... just say ;-)

I really started when my parents died 18 years ago as I inherited most of the family bits and bobs. Although, I can remember going with my dad some years before to a cemetry in Cambridgeshire where his mother's family came from. :-) :-)

But I suppose I really got hooked about 10 years ago when things started to become available online. :-) :-)

How about you Barb :-) :-)

Evening girls, :-D :-D

have you all been enjoying this cracking sunshine :-) :-)

Belle do you have any of his Medals :-)

My OH's got his grandads medals he was in the Scottish Rifles :-D :-D

Hello George how are you doing today. :-D :-D

Hi George we've had rain most of the day :-| but sun in between :-D :-D :-D

Hiya George <3 <3 :-D :-D

How are you me little chickadee :-D :-D :-D

Fly, I don't have my GFs medals but I do have my gt uncles medals :-) :-)

Barb My mum asked me to look into her family they came

from wales and she knew very little about them :-( :-D :-D :-D

Hello LB, Barb, Fly and Nipper :-D

Im brilliant thanks, is that a picture of Nipper as a pup.? :-D :-D

Belle we have WW1 medals for OH's GF and

his uncle's WW2 medals he was in the Coldstream Guards :-D

It is George he was a right little dumpling :-D :-D :-D

Belle the last 7 years of my mums life she had Alzheimers and started saying things I dismissed as confusion. I knew that she had never known her own mother so after she died I sent off for her B,Cert.

From that I went on and discovered a multitude of shocks. You may already know that she was born in the workhouse. I have found her mother and gone back as far as I can. Fascinating but very very sad. She was born 1912 so I will have to wait until the next census to find who she was given away to. She kept her birth surname.

I could write a book LOL

Fly, have you managed to find OH's GF's service records? :-(
