Oh Dora! Don't take any offence. I didn't, I expressed an observation that's all. You must be a kind person to be on the mailing list, to help others.

I can see you hardly want any help from just rude old me! Really, no matter what country he is from, an experienced researcher would neither have asked that on this list, or given no information about who he was looking for. Not to argue, but the pair of you are simply rude. Good luck, David. You'll not get far with this attitude! But it's your problem. Not mine. Now if you all want to hear me be off putting...

Hi Hazel It is nice of you to help David. If your search does not work try this URL. http://community.military.com/buddy-finder/?ESRC=mr_footer.nl I know there is another search location through the DOD.

Many thanks Nivard. Due to recent family events it has made me aware how vulnerable our own mortality is. It has made me think more of the extended family. I will give all your suggestions a go.

David, I also thought Dora's reply was on the rude side. If you will send me what information you have at the e-mail at <gen-search@cox.net> will see if I can find anything. I have forgotten what the name of the site is, but you can do a search for servicemen. I played with it once just for the fun and found my son at the various Navy stations around San Diego, California. Good luck with all of your endeavors.

Hi David Have you traced the marriage and therefore the name of the man and his father? It might also give his usual residence in the US Are they still alive? the US social security index is available on familysearch and might give an indication of area if you have names to check I am sure there are other ways but they came to mind Best wishes Nivard Ovington, in Cornwall (UK) but born in Leicestershire > Could anyone point me in the direction of how to locate an American > serviceman who married my cousin at Leicester in 1960 and retuned to the > US with him? > > Regards > David Robinson > Transcribing for FreeCEN in Leicestershire > & FreeBMD > Member of the LRFHS No R0173

Could anyone point me in the direction of how to locate an American serviceman who married my cousin at Leicester in 1960 and retuned to the US with him? Regards David Robinson Transcribing for FreeCEN in Leicestershire & FreeBMD Member of the LRFHS No R0173

Within the last few days, there was a discussion on one of the lists on how to get rid of a Yahoo toolbar on Firefox. I wonder if someone could tell me how to get rid of a giant Yahoo toolbar -- at least 1/3 of the screen -- on AOL startup? It does respond to 'minimize' but then pops right back the next time AOL is accessed. **************Get fantasy football with free live scoring. Sign up for FanHouse Fantasy Football today.

If you can provide what iformation you have some of us could give it a go. You can't have sophisticated research skills, or this list probably wouldn't have been where you would have asked. With a couple of details maybe some of us could find the info in a few minutes.

How much knowledge do you have about this serviceman? To start with, do you happen to know his name? Where was he from? Did he have a dob? If you have enough information, you could just do an online public records search for $20 to $60, depending on how much info you need to locate them.

Hi, I need to know if there is a program or if it is even possible to change a Ahnentafel, Decendency, or Register file into a Gedcom? Example: Some genealogy files on Ancestry.com, Rootsweb, etc. do not have the choice of downloading a Gedcom file but you can get one of the above mentioned files. Thank you, Claude

Hello Claude If the file has some of your relatives in it you could contact the submitter of the file. They would probably like it if you would share the info you have on the relatives. They might even have more info than what is online. Peggy : Some genealogy files on Ancestry.com, Rootsweb, etc. do not > have the choice of downloading a Gedcom file

Oh, that's another thing. You have to first of all scan them into your computer. Use high quality or high resolution.
