World War Two / Any clues?
« on: Wednesday 05 January 22 01:47 GMT (UK)  »
Is anyone able to pick up any information from this photo? Either from what is there or what is not there.
The eagle on the sleeve appears to be, from what I can google, and early representation and I can't work out what the symbol below it could be.
The man this photo purports to be joined the RAF in 1930 as an AC2.

A longshot but any ideas would be welcomed.

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Sharpening a Mudd photo
« on: Wednesday 05 January 22 01:38 GMT (UK)  »
Can anyone help with sharpening this? There are a couple of online sites that will do it but the results have really not been that good. Any help/ideas will be much appreciated.

...that I have a match on GedMatch but that match doesn't show on Ancestry? Both Kits are in both places.

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Advice requested
« on: Tuesday 09 March 21 01:27 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all,

1.   I have an unknown male who fathered a son born in 1908.
2.   Said son fathered 2 daughters by different mothers.
3.   I have Ancestry DNA results for both.

In this situation is there any possibility that one could get close to identifying the unknown male?
How would one set about it?

World War Two / RAF Squadron Location
« on: Wednesday 26 February 20 01:02 GMT (UK)  »
Hi All, I've had no luck in finding where Balloon Barrage Squadron 985 was located during WW2. I think it was in or near Jarrow but no reference to it that I've managed to find shows a location. Does anybody know where I could look?

Hi All,
I've been using FTM for years now and, up until the latest iteration - 2019 -  have been quite happy with it. However I only recently discovered Rootsmagic which has some nice features and I was wondering if there's anyone out there (surely) who has experience of both and is prepared to make any comments?

Cheers, Simon

Family History Programs, Tree Organisation, Presentation / Timeline
« on: Monday 02 September 19 09:05 BST (UK)  »
I have a particularly complicated ancestor who's life I want to plot to try and get a clear picture of his goings on.
Can anyone suggest/recommend any timeline software? I just want to plug in his birth and death dates and then fill all events in between the two.

I have recently come across a photo that MIGHT be a relative when younger. Can anyone recommend software that will compare 2 images and come up with a guesstimate? There are many out there but hopefully someone here will have used one.
