been following this tread with interest . I have some old reel to reel tapes which contain something of my parents and paternal grandfather but technology has moved on since then so would like to warn you all that make sure that any records move foreward with technology and that if they are sent to any archives they will be updated .I was aware that my maternal grandfather did an interview with Radio Leicester but that it was some years ago about his career on the Great Central Railway from about 1914 to 1960 ish but did mot know where they were anyway one of my daughters found they had been lodged with Leics University and has obtained me a copy . It was strange to hear his voice after all this time - only regret that I had had the skills etc to have done my own research whilst they were all still alive .Have to many recollections of " aunts and uncles" who were not related or for whom we did not have surnames or know their relationships with whom in the family Mick Wilson .
