Census and Resource Discussion / Re: myheritage.com
« on: Monday 01 February 10 20:11 GMT (UK)  »
Hello Spark

 I uploaded my tree via gedcom file to My Heritage, it produced a colourfull tree, which generated lots of statisics charts. BUT the e mails i was getting was nothing to do with geneology....... !!!! dating stuff.
 Plus the offer of a My heritage tool bar.....It started to overpower my pc. if you see what i mean.
 Enough was enough.... I deleted all connection with My heritage.


 I hope this helps

Hello readers

 I have been trying to find out more on my grandfather  ( Arthur Charles Nevitt ), information being very thin i requested his marrage and death certs on line direct from GRO. I gathered all the information i could.

 I supplied his full name, the dates of both events, both places and all importantly the volume and page reference
numbers... i paid my £14.00 all via the comfort of my house.

 Now i find i have received two E mails from GRO stating my "certificates will not be produced as the additional forename is not Charles". The fee for checking the reference is £3.00 per cert.   £6.00 total.

I looked at the entries myself stating   it states......    Arthur C Nevitt....

I have been penalised for providing too much information it seems..... If i have given them all the information required plus a bit extra, is it right they can reject, charge and expect me to reorder deleting       Harles fro the
name of Charles    ??????

A step forward, but being me i want to know more and more.

Thanks chaps.

 Pete, as far as documents go... My grandad died in 69. My father split from mum before then. All i have is fading memories and fragments of stories in my head, This is why i am having a hard start. BUT my gut tells me there is a story to be told,
  My natural urge to "do my bit"  and Join up seemed to be a built in feeling...From him maybe ?

Andy. Thanks for the link...I have registered and will soon post a request. Just waiting for the confirmation E mail.

 The more dead ends i come up with, the more i need to dig more and more.

Thanks   Andrew.

World War Two / airborne guardsman ?
« on: Wednesday 30 December 09 22:45 GMT (UK)  »
Hello all

 Can anyone throw any kind of light on my quest..?

 My grandfather, Arthur C. Nevitt Born 1911 in Birmingham. He died at the age of 57 in 1969. I was 7 when he died
so never knew anything of him. I remember he had a cap badge, what i now know to be a Grenadier guards badge.
 He was, so i am told by my mum that he was in the Airborne division during the second world war.
 I can recall a captured German helmet in his back yard. (he took it from a prisoner).

 Can anyone give me a kick start please, Where do i start to find out about him, and his military carrier ?

 All the best    Andrew.
