Surrey / Re: Assisi Mother & Baby Homes

Hi all, I know it's been a while since I posted on here.  I hope that some of you at least have had some success in finding your loved ones?  I have an extensive Tree on Ancestry and two years ago decided to undertake a DNA test.  Despite my son being born at Assissi and who was adopted out, I too was adopted as a baby.  Having finally found my birth mother and having met her, I was with her when she passed away in 2011.  I'd also found who my father was albeit he'd passed in 1961.  He and my mother weren't married hence my having been adopted.  I managed to trace my father's life only to find that he'd died in Brighton, East Sussex.  I then managed to locate his burial place and have been tending his grave ever since.  Going back to DNA, it has thrown up so many people ie cousins and also some half siblings that I never knew about.  I would strongly recommend undertaking a DNA test, you'd be surprised what it can divulge although it's not always 100% that they will find anyone but it's always worth a try.   Stay well everyone.  Kathryn xxx

What knowledge you have as to where queries can be researched.  Obviously I don't have a clue hence my asking for help.   Thank you for the further information provided.

I don't want to go into great detail on here but I have been told that my Father had a liaison with someone (long since deceased) who worked at RAF Hornchuch at some point in 1943, this is why I am trying to determine where he was around that time.  Although all of the information provided is of a great help with the insight to my Father's movements, am eager to find out if what I've been told could be true.

Kind regards,

Kathryn

Thank you Tony.  The links provided are most informative but obviously doesn't cover my query, perhaps one day it will come to light.  Nevertheless the rest of the information is valuable for future reference.

One last thing.

Is there anywhere that I can look up where the Personnel Distribution Centres were located please?

Kind regards,

Kathryn

Sorry if I'm becoming a pain, but what does D2E mean against 41 Squadron on Dad's Record in 1943 please?

Morning Andy.  Once again, thank you for the information you have provided me.   My brain is trying to understand everything and it's really helpful to have an insight of my Dad's movements.   The one thing that I am more interested in at the moment is where was Dad was based etc between July and September 1943.  I don't know if there would be another Record held anywhere that might be more specific or whether my query can actually be deciphered from the Record I uploaded? 

Please excuse my ignorance.

Kind regards,

Kathryn
