As the WDYTYA thread has not been looked at since 19 March, it is maybe time to remove for another year.

And next year maybe making threads for individual years rather than one thread with goes back over 3 years!

Researching:
We are all of us in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars, Oscar Wilde New avatar, my dad age about 3/4 months, could have been worse, it could have been the awful nude on a rug!!

good idea ............. or at the very least, lock it so no more posts can be made.

The idea of a thread for each individual year is excellent.




I would also add ........................


In addition, please ensure that the staff working the booth know EXACTLY what sort of information the helpers need in order to help, and that they ask the following questions ....................



At the very least we need to know...............................

Full name
Birth year ....... or at the very least an approximate guess
Birth place, if known
Name of parents, if known
Name of spouse and when married ....... or an approximation, at the very least.
Names of children, if known


and does the person asking know anything else



No half stories, please!

Researching:
My brother, photo taken in September 1991 just a couple of weeks before he died. ............................................................ To help us and to get better results, please post as much detail as you can, especially name, date(s) and place. Also say what you already know.
