hi all, bit wet this morning in CHESHIRE. Ive forgotten how to use the LDS site to get some info about one of my uncles from WW1. 12 months ago I used it for another uncle but now Ive forgotten how to do it. A sign that Im getting on in years Im afraid. TED.

Here is the site http://www*familysearch*org replace * with . Marion

Ted, Are you talking about the 1881 census or the IGI? Cheers, Lynn

marion, hiya. No the FAMILY SEARCH. ORG IGI has a catalogue and you used to be able to get info about soldiers in WW!, but ive forgotten how to do it. About 12 months ago I managed to get the info on one of my uncles and now Im looking for another one. ROBERT LUNT. I cant seem to find anything about him after 1901 neither marriage nor death, so being 19 in 1901 in TOX PARK LPOOL he would have been 32years in 1914, old just the age for soldiers then, and I was hoping to find something about him, his regt number etc, BUT I cant for the life of me remember how I did it. Hope your keeping well. TED.

Jules hi, cant remember whether I replied to you or not, which proves my point lol. They have a catalog which contains lots of info about WW1 BSUT i just cant remember how I did it last time, and that wss only 12 months ago. Cheers TED.

Ted, Are you sure you were using the LDS ....... as the CWGC is the place for 1914 WW1 etc..... http://www.cwgc.org/cwgcinternet/search.aspx Elaine :-) (Commonwealth War Graves Commission)

Lynne hi to you as well, cant leve you out can I? no im talking about the catalog they have on the IGI site which has lots of info about soldiers in WW1. But ive forgotten how to get the info off? silly me. TED.

elaine, hi. no that site is only for those killed, but your'e right because he isnt on there, so he couldnt have been killed in the War, daft arent I. But I would still like to remember how I got that info about my uncle HARRY LUNT. TED XX

Ted, I've just had a look around the FS site ...... and there is a tab at the top that refers to the catalogue. Maybe if you enter the surname, it will take you further in the direction your wantingto go ? Maybe ? I don't know anything about it ..... didn't even know it was there !!!!!! Elkaine :-)

I'm intrigued. Plse share the site you are talking about. Jenny

elaine, Ive done that, used all permitations and sure enough you get a list of batch numbers that you can order the film from the local branch LDS but somehow I managed to get the info without having to do that, maybe just maybe they have changed things around. as you can theres one heck of a lot of info and its not expensive to order it, pay around £3.50 for the film and you can use it for a month. Its really good. TED.

jenny, hi. its the FAMILY SEARCH.ORG site. LDS. on the home page at the top theres a CATALOG page, click on that you can look at all the stuff they have got, and it tells you how to order it etc. TED.
