WW1 Army records researcher - Can you recommend someone?
« on: Monday 14 February 05 11:08 GMT (UK) »
I'm thinking of asking a researcher to try to find my Great Grandfather's WW1 army records. (I think I've found his medal card online but that's as far as I've got!!)

I've searched Rootschat and found someone advertising their services but must admit I prefer to use someone who is recommended by others.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Tabitha,

I obtained my relation's service docs and very interesting they were! This is the lady who found them, and as I recall she charged about £25 to find, copy and post them to you - less than a single train fare to Kew!

Good luck

Hi Tabitha

Be warned - there isn't a very high success rate as many were destroyed by enemy action in WW2 so there won't necessarily be anything to find. 

Best wishes

Hi everyone,
Thanks for the replies. I've now got a researcher to take on this task!

I appreciate nothing may come of it, but if I don't try I'll never know  :)

Thanks again
