Who Do You Think You Are (III) #2: Robert Lindsay

[Lesanne]

 I wouldn't be suprised if they had found "Bert" but his family wanted to stay in the background.
Great footage of WW1, gives us so much more"feeling" of what our grandfathers went through.   I bet the CWGC site is busy.

While it may have been possible, I think they decided to leave it out because the information they would find would be about living people.

Andrew

That's the conclusion I came to.

I was interested to see Gallipoli as I have 2 on my tree who were killed there.  
It seems as though a lot of the serving men were just boys.  Looking through my father's papers yesterday I noticed he added 3years on to his age when he signed up

   Just had another look  Yes lots of the name still living in the area in Licolnshire....

How many times have we seen a surname used as middle name.  Clue!!  Clue!!

Yeah, that's what I was thinking 

but Andrew is probably right in that it was too sensitive

Wouldn't mind finding out I was related to Robert Lindsay!!

We have got  storms also Kerry, like you I was worried as our power dipped very low a couple of times, not unusual, but it was o.k, thought Robert Lindsay was very interesting, especially the undersea footage.

I wish the programme had gone back another generation but I'm so glad I've booked my trip to the National Archives with my Family History Society; I've got 3 servicemen to look for.

Well done Tazzie; could be him.
