Please can any help or advise how I can progress my search for this family. I am at a loss as to where to start and you have all been so helpful in the past.

My grandfather George William Stanley served in the second world war. He was 39-45 years of age during this war (Service Corps I think) but was a mechanic by trade. He also served in the first world war.

He died in 1965 but I have recently been given a photograph that belonged to him, of a Belgian family who he either billeted with, or helped him in some way in the war. I know that he was still in touch with them in 1955 because they came to England to attend my grandmother's funeral.

 On the back of the photograph are the names:

 Jean, Joujon (?), Renee, Monique, M et Mme Servais, 26 rue Van Lint (possibly Rint), Bruxelles.

I am just intrigued as to find who they were and if any of these children are still alive and how they helped my grandfather. I realise that Servais is a relatively common Belgian name.

Does anyone know if there are Belgian records online that I can trace this family or even if there are any local newspapers in Brussels that I could send a letter and the attached photographs to?

Many thanks for any responses or time taken to help.

Hi,

Can anyone help - I am looking for NJ death records in the 1930s online. I live in the UK so I can't easily access offline records. Unfortunately, there seems to be little information regarding New Jersey on Ancestry and other genealogy websites.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Many thanks in advance

Hi all,

New to the other countries board but not to rootschat.

I have located a marriage certificate in the British Library records for a relatives marriage in Mussorie in 1886-1889. Both parties appear to be British (or have British names anyway). I have ordered the certificate but wondered if anyone could help with this questions:

1) Does anyone have an idea of what information was contained on Indian colonial marriage certificates
2) I can't find a reference to their son's birth record online but know he was born in India (Cocanada, or Kakinada as it is now). Does anyone know if all the records contained are currently indexed online?

Thanks

Hi,

I am new to the New Zealand board but not to rootschat (i am in the UK)

Please can anyone tell me if there is available anywhere online:

a) death records in the 1950s
b) census records
c) immigration records (1930s-1950s)

I know New Zealand has a restrictive policy but can't find much information.

many thanks for any advice on researching New Zealand ancestry.
