Hi Ray and welcome to RootsChat, how great that you should find a photo of your Grandfather.

Thank you, Carol.

 I take it you must be “admin”.  I happened upon your site completely by accident.  It was a delightful surprise.

Cheers,

Ray

Hi Ray....no, I am a volunteer, but as you will find out, this is a very friendly site with lots of knowledgeable members who are willing to help.

Thank you very much.

I’m trying to get my head around the amount of time you must devote to “happen upon” random communications, like mine.

I am very grateful.  No doubt you’ll see me dotting about in here as I grow accustomed to the format.

Cheers,

Ray

Glad to hear that you plan to become a regular visitor. I mainly spent my time on the Photo Restoration Board where I restore and colour old and damaged photos that people upload there. It's a great free service. I do look ups on here too as I am from the area so have local knowledge. If you press the forum button at the top of the page, you will see all the County boards including other boards of interest too.

Hi Ray

Yes, I'm still around although haven't logged in for a while.

Glad you were able to find the photo. As is the case many times when you inherit a box of family photos with nothing written on them, it's really frustrating. I was very appreciative of the help given here in solving this particular puzzle.

Good luck with your searches
