I am looking for help and it seemed to good a chance not to ask if you can provide some advice! I believe my Grandfather's cousin Arthur BIRCH born around 1890-1900 went to live there (I thought Guernsey, but possibly Jersey) - my mother only knows he corresponded with this man and we believe he is a relative... Is there anywhere I could access the records for the islands to see if I could trace this person - and perhaps any descendents? I have a family mystery to clear up relating to granddad and another cousin during WW1 and I think this cousin may have been linked to it too!!
