Hello and welcome
I am a Nottinghamian by birth but am now domiciled in Lincolnshire. I am an independent First World War historian, researcher, author, battlefield guide and publisher of the weekly news blog, Trench Lincs.
Ancestry Research
Thank you for finding this website. I assume you are looking for help in researching your ancestor who served in the Great War of 1914-18? A starting point would be to read my short article which you can find on this site here Researching Your Great War Ancestor. – Jonathan D’Hooghe .
However, it maybe that you still require help, and I have the experience to help you. Please contact me through the website Contact Form [link] and let me have what details you already know – name, date of birth, regiment served in, service number, rank, family etc. and by using those WWI records that have survived, I will hopefully aid you in fully understanding what your family member achieved for ‘The Great Cause’ against Imperial German Militarism.
I look forward to hearing from you.
