Sith Happens Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Could be worth putting a post on the Forest thread in Football. I reckon one of the red dogs would be able to help, considering they are always living in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stive Pesley Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I forgot to say that when I dabbled with the online research, that I was doing my Mum's side (which was tricky because my Grandad was the product of the Lord Of The Manor knocking up one of the maids) - because some mad Australian woman came over to the UK in the late 70s and did the whole history of my family name right back to Elizabethan times and had a massive book published. I'm apparently related to Francis Drake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Kevin Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Always been interested but never done anything about it .But out of the blue I get a letter from an archivist from Crich who is putting together a website and a second book on men from Crich on the WW1 roll of honour . Apparently my grandad lied about his age and enlisted at 17 in the army ,his two brother were both wounded but all survived the war .He gave me a lot of info on my family all from Crich and the families of his brothers and their locations all interesting stuff. http://www.crichparish-ww1.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what my mum and dad told me to call you! Mind you, they also tried to tell me that lots of my relatives were lifelong Birmingham City fans! And as for that rubbish about where babies come from. Don't even get me started one that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
