My grandfather was born in South Africa. one parent I guess was English. (my grandfather was white) He was sent to England as a baby in the 1880's with a nanny and financial resources for his education/upbringing. A London law firm created an original family name for him: Estdale. - All records of my grandfathers parents were obscured/destroyed. Is there any way of finding out more about who my grandfather was? All official sources in the UK are of no help. Regards Mark Estdale mark@psycy.demon.co.uk
