Hi Maur,

This is the first time I have seen such a strange query. Two little squares. They must mean something but there is no written explanation explaining what they are about.
I look forward to learning more.

Best Wishes, Chris

Hi Chris,

I obviously missed clicking a button or something, blame it on being a "newbee" to Rootschat.  It is the first time I have posted a query. I have much to learn in this computer research age although I have been researching family history for over 25 years now.

This is what I wanted to ask ....... Where do I begin to find information on JOHN EDWARDS who was a Colonel in the English Army.  His daughter Mary Humphreys (nee Edwards) stated that he was deceased and a Colonel in the English Army when she arrived in Australia in 1851.  She had been born approx. 1793 in Carno, Montgomeryshire, Wales.  Her mother was Mary Rowland.  I don't know if Mary had any other siblings.
Any help would be much appreciated,
Sincerely
Maur.

Hi Maur,

These look good starting points.
