Thanks first responders. I've mentioned Rootschat.com as both a welcoming and use site that they might choose for their very worthy causes.

Rootschat member *Sandra* often posts requests regarding CWGC appeals.
She was certainly successful with an appeal for my relative’s grave.

Thank you for remembering.  Think I got disillusioned with the high level of people who didn't acknowledge notifications or declined because they were not blood relatives.
Will have another go and see if we can have better luck this year. Will stick to the counties.

Thank you
Sandra

I just did that one because it is my hometown.
I got a reply from the researcher so it was a positive response this time, Sandra.
I was thrilled when it was my relative.  :)

Fabulous Heywood. That is great news.  Did they sound positive about contacting CWGC. ?

Sandra

Oh yes, I see you made the comment about it being positive.
