Robert Douglas, WWII Bomber Pilot, Royal Canadian Airforce. (Sorry I'm used to being able to edit* a post, like on Facebook.) My edited addition to my previous post. I will post more in the days to come. I am very ammeter at family research. I didn't have much to work with. My grandfather died and him being a war vet was very hard to ask him for family details. His mother and infant brother died when he was 4 yrs old. When he enlisted in the second world war. His father re-married two years latter after his wife's death. The information I had to work with was very limited and I was very young when told me some family history. I have been on this path for a couple of years now. My first break through was attaining my grandfathers parents marriage certificate. Oh my word just being able to see it and that they existed was so big for me. And their parents names were also listed on the marriage certificate. From then on I had little more bits to work with.

Making conections

The more information you can give about the people you mention, the more chance there is of someone else connecting with your family.

Dates and places of births, deaths and marriages all help to place families.

Professions also help.

'My great-grandmother mother was a Douglas from Montrose' does not give many clues to follow up! But a bit of flesh on the bones makes further research possible. But if we are told who she married, what his profession was and where the children were baptised, then we can get to work.

Maybe it is time to update the information in your profile?
