pm from Stuart

Thank you for your help. I have tried to use the "BMD" to search for family without luck. I have read the help pages and followed the advice. Is there an email address I can contact Genes Reunited. Sorry to bother you but I am getting nowhere without the help of people like you. I keep getting messages from them to use BMD but it does not work ?

Stuart - I have no idea why you have opened your tree for me to see. I'm just a GR member who likes helping other members out, the same as the others who are helping you too. I'm not related to you or your family.

I do notice that you are spelling the Verriez name wrongly on the tree - you have Verriey not VerrieZ

The first four threads at the top of this board give tips about board usage, and researching in general. Worth reading

Thank you all so much for the information. I have only just joined this web site and I find it quite hard to find out how it all works, so thank you for your help.

He was born 6/12/1885 and joined the family photography business in Ealing before joining the RNAS in WW1. My father John was born 7/1/1916 but there is no info about who he married, I need a maiden name please. George died 11/03/41 in Ealing and his wife was not there ? any info would be very welcome.
