Family History Beginners Board / Newbie looking for advice
« on: Monday 01 October 18 21:54 BST (UK) »
Hi all, just found this site and hoping I can get some help.
I have recently returned to Ancestry.co.uk to carry on my family research after a break, and I have hit a bit of a brick wall trying to get back beyond my maternal grandfather.
I have just found his birth certificate which gave me his parents names but that's where it seems to stop. He was born in Newcastle (upon Tyne, Northumberland), I have date of birth, mother and fathers names, an adress in Newcastle at time of birth, siblings forenames and some RAF service detail.
Can anyone advise how to best progress my research into this - I didn't want to post in the county forum until I understand what exactly people may be able to search for me.
Thanks in advance
