Can anybody make out the surname of Charles the godfather please?
I think the godmother is Catherine Materbe?

One other query - what does the phrase 'sous condition' (I think) on the first line indicate?

Many thanks

Sous condition means On the condition that

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: I am so upset .....
« on: Tuesday 25 March 25 16:49 GMT (UK)  »
I had a similar occurrence with a young man from South Africa who had the whole of my tree, including every single photo, certificates etc. In his tree.

I queried this and he said he had an interest in my family and that was that.
It left me fuming.

Hi lovely rootschatters,

Yesterday I logged into my Ancestry account as I do daily to check my new DNA matches and do a little family history research on my family tree which I have built up with my own verified research over the last 25 years.

I noticed a lady who I have brief cordial messages with, no more than half a dozen exchanged between us due to the fact that she shares very distant DNA between us only 10cm and a closer match with my son 124cm on his paternal line in which we both know how my son is connected to her.

I noticed yesterday she has the whole of my family tree and research appeared on her own Ancestry page listed as B family tree.

How on earth has she managed to transfer the whole of my tree onto her Ancestry page ?

I definitely have not given her an invite to share my tree over to her although my tree is public on Ancestry.

My tree has only 800 names on it all totally verified with lots of hard graft and money dedicated to it,hers has nearly 60,000 people on.

What would you lovely rootschatter do ? Message her regarding this or ignore it ?

For me this is really upsetting....any advice would really be appreciated. Thank you so much for taking time to read my message.

Warmest regards...Helen.

World War Two / Re: WWII Service Records
« on: Thursday 13 March 25 20:46 GMT (UK)  »
I had the same. The MOD told me they were slowly transferring data to the NA. But so far, I was unable to find my father's records. It's a minefield.

Thank you. My father was born on 4th May 1908. I will need to be patient and wait for 2029, provided I am still alive and my advanced age.

AndyJ2022.

I am not looking for my grandfather.
Only my father who I cannot find.

Thank you for your concern.

I gave up hope of finding grandad's service records, Kew gave me details of his movements in 1984 and his brothers and both are now lost so how many more have been lost?

I am so sorry to hear this Collin.
I feel I am in the same situation as yourself. In spite of all the details I hold, nothing at all. 😔😔

I have a similar problem with my father's service records.
I wrote to the MOD who told me they could find nothing at all.
They said they were transferring details to the National Archives.
So I have tried that site with his name, service number and date of birth
Not one result.

Hi Glyn

There are only medal index cards, 'WW1 service Records' and/or 'WW1 pension files'.  Kew have removed themselves from the picture as regards the last two as they no longer provide access to any records, as these are on Ancestry (1914 to 1920) or Findmypast (before 1914). Instead they provide free access to these sites via terminals.

The MOD obviously had information in 1984 that has now disappeared. You really need to find out from the MOD what information they have sent to 'Kew' since then. If none then they have lost it. They could be just quoting the party line that they only have records for men discharged after 1920 - I believe that the official cut-off was 20 August 1920. But everyone knows that there are miss-files with records from the 1920s in with WW1 and even in pre-WW1. So it stands to reason that these post 1920s records contain ones from WW1.

You could try firepower.org.uk which is the museum of the RA. But I believe they charge.
