Internment camps.
« on: Saturday 02 August 14 12:12 BST (UK) »
When l first started researching l found that my Great Grandfather who was born in Germany but came to UK in 1870 married and english girl and had children was interned in Alexandra Palace in 1914 and died there in 1918. I read an article thatsaid that the Red Cross had records of the internees and would release records in August 2014., l have been on their site but cannot find any lead to the records where am l going wrong can anyone help please.

The Anglo-German Family History Society (AGFHS)  http://www.agfhs.org/site/index.php  may be of help.

The members have done considerable work regarding Al Pal, Huyton and IOM, and the Society promotes two of its own books and two by other publishers, as well as having its own Internment Curator.

Reading the info on the site - looks like the database has yet to be launched online. It's a huge project and for all we know may be over-running - and in any case we're not at the end of August yet. Patience may well be rewarded.....

Thankyou for your reply but l had found my Phillip Wickert some time ago on the internnes list but it did not give me any information that l did not know except to confirm he was there.
Thankyou once again.
