Hello All, I find it very interesting about the CGC acting quickly to rectify a mistake. I found a relative of mine killed during WW1 whose grave was not in their database at all, (in Dysart cemetery, Pitlochry as a matter of interest.) When I pointed this out to them with the relevant information from the gravestone I received a reply stating that it was very unlikely that they had missed a stone and effectively fobbed me off! The poor man is still not in their database. In fact now this has been brought back into my 'line of sight' so to speak, I think I will have another crack at them. Wish me luck, I may be some time!

Hi Mark Given the amount of information now available, is it not worth posting the details, I am more than happy to check what I have access to Best wishes Nivard Ovington, in Cornwall (UK) > Hello All, > > I find it very interesting about the CGC acting quickly to rectify a > mistake.
