That’s absolutely brilliant Max.

A wet weekend’s work for me there!

Much appreciated, and I’ll report back if I find anything exciting.

Hi Ian

Great to hear from you!

My Father in law is David MacDonald born 1936, son of Kenneth McDonald (think he changed the spelling), who was son of George McDonald - John’s brother.

My email address is whitseaking@gmail.com.

Any photos of the ancestors would be gratefully appreciated. We don’t have any!

Regards,

Colin

Armed Forces / Control Commission Germany 1945

 Hi,

My Grandfather, Jens Frederick Thorn was part of the British Control Commission in Berlin in 1945. A London Policeman in his Fifties, the story is that he was requested to help the transition to peace.

I would like to know if there are any online resources that focus on this post war initiative, and if there any records that would give details of exactly where and when my Grandfather served.

I'm assuming there may also be some resources housed at Kew, but again, I'm not sure where to look.

Any advice would be welcome!

Colin

Hi Ian,

My wife is a direct descendant of Patrick McDonald so we were astonished to see your photos!

Is there any way we can share info via email? To see the address Barclay Road in Fulham appear in your post was amazing too. My Father in law was born there - although not at no. 4.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Colin and Alison King (nee MacDonald).
