"Hello Igor,
Thank you for your kind response.
Despite researching my family history for many years, I'm basically a newbie on the various genealogy sites and have not used them before to assist with my research, more's the pity as undoubtedly there's a lot of very valuable people on here with a wealth of information and resources available.
Where would I begin in asking people for help - guidance would be appreciated :-) "
You are most welcome
I would suggest you approach this in the simplest way, by summarising what you do know and the sources you've found (if any), and if there is an appropriate location for these, simply posting a request for further research on the appropriate board.
If no general location, post on the Common Room board.
The only rules are that the people mentioned should not be now living.
I lurk around these boards frequently, but am not always quick (or expert) enough to make huge contributions, but I was thrilled recently to assist in a search which found some relatives for someone who had been looking for years without success. It was some guesswork, followed by more theorising, and then further great record finds which tracked down and confirmed a marriage via a familiar address......
Can I add, it's also often very useful to summarise what you do know.
