For those of you who wrote expressing an inability to find the War Office information, the following should make your search successful. Sorry my directions were unclear and inadequate - will try again. Go to: http://catalogue.pro.gov.uk Choose the option: Search the catalogue. A screen should appear with 4 boxes. Box one is the enter a name. I would just enter a surname in the box. Box 2 is for a year or year span. Ignore this. Box 3 is for the series. In this box, type "WO" without the parenthesis. Box 4 is a search button. I just did this and it was successful. ===== My personal website: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~virginiawesttooregon The complete database of our family history: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~familylibrary/ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
