Thank you so much, I checked last night and to my amazement our family member is already  there.

I can  give  more details about his life if needed

Hi Lemur,

Did you add yourself as "researcher" in the table view ?
Then anybody else looking at the table will also know you are researching this name.

I can  give  more details about his life if needed

This will be the next step when I've finished loading all the records. Normally if you want to add details, you would send the Submitter a PM directly, or add something to the "Readers Comments" field and then PM the Submitter. However, as these records have all been submitted from another database, we don't have a "Submitter". 

I have suggested to the BHCGI that they appoint one or more people as "coordinators" for the database, and then comments can be addressed to them. But more on that later ...

regards,
Bob

Hi Bob,

No I didn't add myself, will go back and do that. It took me several years to find this person, he was an only child, and his marriage was childless. I "claimed him " on the Canadian website that was set up a few years ago, and added our contact details, as well as leaving them with the Home that arranged his transfer to Canada.

I'm not expecting any contact regarding him, he had a difficult early life, as well as his experiences as a Home Child



I do  have a  photo of him taken in Canada with his wife ( who is the actual blood relative to us). She was a WW1 War bride

Can't wait to add my grandfather's sister.  After receiving his Liverpool Sheltering records it said his older sister was also in service.  I have not found his sister being sent to Canada.

Hi Bob,
          That seems to be halfway to completion tonight and my two people of interest are in there! I'm now itching to put my name against them as researcher and maybe add a few notes if that facility exists.

Well done, keep up the good work and thank you.

Hi Bob,

This is a wonderful project! Just found my family member on there! When the bits for adding extra info & adding myself as researcher are operational, I have a lot more info/detail regarding him to add.

Thanks again.

Kind regards

David

This is wonderful Bob!  I just checked and it looks like 10,000 names are there!

It will be exciting once they are all added and then members can add more!

Thank you for your feedback, glad you like it

Those "bits" are already operational.  Go to the page view of any of your ancestors and look at the bottom of the page.
