The photo above was taken around the time of the first World War, in London, England. The bride is Sarah. Missing from the photo is her brother, my grandfather, Paul. Was he the photographer? I don't think so. I believe he was away, conscripted in the war. So were his brothers!
But what was he doing in the war? I have no records and would like to know.
I recently found a new website called FindMyPast.
I was hunting for my grandfather. When I entered his Surname (family name) and first name, or initial letter of first name, I found his British army unit, service number and date of birth.
This website will also upload your DNA results from other sites. You can also print off a family tree booklet of 9 pages suitable for an 8-year-old.
If you are looking for a birthday or anniversary gift for somebody who has everything and doesn't want anything, you could offer them a DNA test kit or a year's membership of an ancestry or family tree website.
