Family History Beginners Board / Tragic families.
« on: Tuesday 09 December 25 20:39 GMT (UK)  »
The topic 'Police Records' by Siely outlines the many tragedies experienced by one family.

Girl in Primary School with me lost her mother when she was ten, her brother drowned, her sister killed when a wheel came off a speeding car and ran into her, her niece killed in an aircraft fire.

Do some families have an awful lot of tragedies compared with other families who have none?

Zet ,  there are many really helpful films on YouTube that will answer the whole story. The Ancestry and My heritage websites will also answer your basic questions.

Thanks Zaph - didn't think of You Tube - will certainly try You Tube.  Thanks.

Family History Beginners Board / DNA testing
« on: Tuesday 11 November 25 21:50 GMT (UK)  »
How does the system work - If I send for the kit and then return it with the sample - how does it get on to the data bank ?
If a match is found how are we put in touch with each other?
is there an on-going charge to keep my details on the data base?
Thanks.

The Lighter Side / Re: Coincidence or what!

(nothing to do with family history)

My brother driving (speeding) from Wick to Inverness stopped by the police.
Like myself he is a fluent Welsh speaker -
spoke to the P C  in Welsh telling him he couldn't speak English - P.C. smiled and said - 'dim problem - mi ges i fy magu yn Caernarfon'  - 'no problem I was raised in Caernarfon'

does this count as a coincidence ?

amondg - thanks.

It seems odd that Clara and George seem not have been buried together.

Clara Wilson died in Rotherham M1/4 1958 age 78.

She was the widow of one George William Wilson (b1859) who died in Oct 1930 - he is buried in Hough Rd Cemetery Rawmarsh but Clara not with him.
 I have possibly got the wrong George William Wilson ???

Rotherham Cemeteries very helpful - but they had no luck finding Clara.  Thank-you.
