Hi I have Ancestry and FMP It was their WW1 Despatches records

Thanks Colette..

Colette, why not give specific details of what you're trying to find?

There are numerous other sites that have information that The Genealogist claims to have.

If you have a person who was mentioned in despatches there are a number of other ways to find that information.

You're quite right, Joan. We had a subscription a few years ago and were warned at the beginning that if we were caught doing lookups for others our subscription would be terminated! :-(

It's intended to prevent professional genealogists from getting free lookups, and I think you'd probably get away with the occasional one, but we never tried it.

Hi Shirley I know...that's why I asked if anyone can help..

Thanks Colette

Seems it's a subscription site

;-)

Have you tried googling for it :-)

Hi does any members have access to The Genealogist web site that could help me with WW1 Despatches....

Thank You Colette
