Helen Govan and the message in a kilt
« on: Monday 17 November 14 14:06 GMT (UK) »
A lovely story running on Scotlands People site at the moment. Illustrating well how family research can develop from the smallest of mementos and information:

www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/Content/Help/index.aspx?2310

Maybe someone has a connection that can add some more detail? Likely looking for living descendants from the family line?

Some more details here www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/10988489/Secret-message-found-in-WW1-kilt.html

Story been running a few months across all media given the commemorative year this is. Given SP are still running it as a front page banner and link, hopefully (or unfortunately (?)) still info to be found...
