Thanks Adrian
I have added it to my list. I have a couple of ancestors who served but haven't gotten round to researching fully yet. I will able to add background using this site.
We welcome any query on Who When Where. If you have previously posted it on another forum (including the old WDYTYA forum), please state this in your opening post - this will save people redoing the research which has been done before: they can look at it and possibly go further with it.

Re: can not get anywhere researching one family ancestor
Welcome to the Forum.
I realise this is a sensitive issue for your Wife, but in order to be able to offer help Members will need at least her maiden name and date of birth, and any other info you can share ie parents names and dates, and her marriage details.

Whilst the layout was greatly improved the reduction in staff was very noticeable to the point where there were just two people answering queries who sadly didn't have the e...

Re: Digitisation of Home Guard records
Thank you Adrian
Yes we did supply a DC, but only a copy. He was born in 1911 so that doesn't fit. It took a year to get to the point of refusal. I wish I had applied directly to the Army but thought TNA would be quicker!! If I may I will PM you re this.

Re: Digitisation of Home Guard records
As a matter of interest do either of you know what rules the TNA are applying to the access of Army records that they have now have in their keeping? We applied for my F in law's APTC records only to be told we cannot access them until 2028. He passed away in 1999.
Many thanks
