That time of year has come around again when people are thinking about New Year Resolutions.
I am posting to suggest that RootsChatters might consider a resolution to research one name on a local war memorial in their area and send the info to a local war society for posterity?
Here we are approaching the 100 year mark when the Great War finally ended and so many who gave their lives have been long forgotten. Last year I started doing a little bit of voluntary researching for a local war society. I have found it incredible to discover that it seems that a lot of those named on monuments have indeed been forgotten. No one knows who they were or what they did, what they sacrificed.
So I am suggesting and hoping that some of you will research just one name this coming year. I am sure this would make a massive difference and help future generations know more about the sacrifice that their ancestors made.
Thank You. HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
