Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Can this picture be coloured?
« on: Saturday 08 December 12 14:57 GMT (UK)  »
Can anyone do anything to bring this photograph (from a newspaper cutting) to life?  It was taken in the 60's of my late father and mum.  A good black and white print would be lovely, but a colour picture would be something the family would love.

Thanks in advance.

« on: Wednesday 05 December 12 23:01 GMT (UK)  »
Hi, did you know that http://lastrp.com now have over 20,000 grave locations for servicemen killed between 1947 - 2003?  Looking for a military plot and can't find it anywhere else, then visit http://lastrp.com.  The site also lists a number of military cemeteries for conflicts in Aden, Cyprus, and Korea and is updating all the time.

Pembrokeshire / Pembroke Air Raid Victims
« on: Tuesday 13 March 12 16:31 GMT (UK)  »
I am delighted to be able to report that Pembroke now has its own page within lastrp.com.  A Pembrokeshire based researcher has very kindly provided two databases relating to

a: Victims of the Pembroke Airraids (WW2) and

b: A list of Military Personnel from Pembroke who were cremated (1946- to date) for which no other memorial might exist. 

I do hope that rootschat will allow this link which takes you to the relevant pages on the site at:

Happy researching,

David
