They are surnames in which people are interested and which they are researching.

You can add them via your personal 'profile'.

Hi Bill,

Welcome to Rootschat, this is a great site to belong to.

When you have added your names to your personal profile as JenB suggested, have a look at the surname interest threads as well.

You can always PM [personal message] the person who has that name in their profile, and see if there are any connections.  Several people have found cousins like that I think. 

Good hunting

Hi All Me Again,
                        This picture has Sid 7 from the left Front row when he was still an LAC Driver.
       I have no idea where or what the unit is. I know it was said he was alledgedly driving an ambulance in France and only just got back to Dunkirk in time to get off the beach.
 He became an Air Gunner sometime between then and the orriginal photo at the start of this thread.
                Maybe someone will recognise this picture and have their own copywith provenance.
                                                                       Regards Rog
