A while ago I mentioned this lecture. Here is a link to You Tube for the unedited version - at some point it will be tidied up and that version will be on the FIBIS (Families in British India Society) site. In the meantime, the lecture proper starts 5 minutes in. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQDd0NH1NXg <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQDd0NH1NXg&feature=youtu.be> &feature=youtu.be Basically if your guys were in the army from the 18th century onwards, they would have almost certainly gone to India, and may well have matched, hatched and been dispatched there. There is lots of useful info here on how to find them. Joss
