I have absolutely no experience of researching family history. I am however writing a short (30-page) autobiography which I hope to will be passed on to future generations of my family.
Whilst writing a paragraph on my grandfather George Henry Dixon yesterday I searched on Google for the Gas Light and Coke Company for whom he worked. I came across Biker's post on 6th June 2006 and followed the thread to the bottom of the page.
Imagine my emotions when I scrolled down to a photograph of my grandfather which biker had posted in response to a query from meles.
I never met him, and have no photographs of him, but there is absolutely no doubt that the photo is him, as the family resemblance is really strong. I know that he served in France as a NCO before being repatriated to the UK where he ended the war as a weapons instructor.
Biker, meles, and everyone involved in RootsChat thank you so very much.
Amazing!
