Hi mum mum,

Nice find!! :o Could you re-post this on the Douglas Caswell thread too please? This explains why I couldn't find any offspring for the Nelly Gertrude and Margaret.

All,

If we can't find sibling family would it be of value to look for cousins' family and if so would the male line or the female line be of more use for DNA matching?

Strange scrimnet ... I have just clicked on the link in your latest post and can get both.... there are 8 pages of UK personel and 3 pages of Australians ... some of which would be UK born but joined the AIF.
I use 'foxit' reader rather than adobe although that should not make any difference.
Try again and see what happens.
Joe

Still can't open the file....

Is this just an issue betwixt joboy and me, or can anyone else open the British list??

Opened fine here - using Adobe 7.

And

Hi,
I would post this on the Douglas Caswell thread if I could find it. There are so many threads now, I cant find what  I'm looking for. I found the info, I have tried to contact a lady on Ancestry.  I can't do much more short of ringing everyone in Newcastle with the same name as her.

Hi mum mum,

The thread for Douglas is here:

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,379789

Just click on the link. It should take you straight there.

I've hit a frustrating dead end with a descendant of Douglas' uncle Ernest. I also do not intend phoning every Stephens in Worcester.  ;D

Hi all,
Nelly Caswell is on an Ancestry tree, she had a daughter Honor Caswell Mclennan who has a living descendant.
I have sent a message to this person but she may no longer be a member of Ancestry.
There are three white pages listings in Newcastle for the same name as the living descendant.

Sorry for bumping the thread, but I've searched the site and cannot find a thread for Private Albert Dale.

I've recently found that my family are decendants of a brother of Albert Dale. However, I do realise we are not direct ancestors.

Thanks.

Welcome to rootschat chana.

No apologies are required for bumping up the thread.  ;D

I've just had a look and can't find Albert Dale either. Highly likely I am missing something.   ;) Someone who knows more is sure to jump in and help soon.
