Hi Rosalind, and welcome to rootschat. Do not forget that once you have spun around the boards have a look in at the chat room where members can also help out (sometimes, it seems instantly). It can be a bit daunting going in there for the first time but once you get used to it, it does become easier. Enjoy your time on here as the natives don't bite  ;D and are very friendly.

Thanks old rowley, I hope that I will do this soon and so far rootschat seems to be a friendly forum.
I am researching the Franklin, Samuel's, Jessel's. Waleys and Sassoon's among other many branches of my family.
I am also related to the bio-scientist Rosalind Franklin, who discovered the Single DNA Helix structure in 1953. But one of my main regrets in my life is that I never met this talented lady, who died at the young age of 37 in 1958 !!

I was bumbling around on another website and someone suggested I should join Rootschat as you are all very nice and helpful!    I can't even remember which website it was!   I wonder if they wanted to get rid of me ........!    Anyway, I am glad I joined and to all who have helped me a big grateful thankyou.

Thanks Sue

I have a few members of the Franklins, who died in the First World War
they will be  a problem because I've forgotten the right site that I found for the Commonwealth War Graves information.

I use Google for most of my searches and books etc.

Yes thanks Geoff this is the very site that I had forgotten about but now I've saved it to my PC. So it'll be easy to find again when
I need it. I will have a good look around the forum over the coming days.  8)

JiminWales thanks for that advice and I'll look into it later.

Also where on this forum do I look for help with tracing a casualty of the First World War?

Hi Rosalind

And welcome to Rootschat!!  ;D

Try the Armed Forces board.  It has a child board for World War I which may be an appropriate place to put your query.

Best wishes,

MarieC

MarieC thanks for that helpful information but the details I am after
concern a 36 year old. So what does a child board have to do with the
World War 1?
