Re: Rescivet - Chapel of Garioch, Aberdeenshire

I would still be interested in any Allan's buried in chapel of Garioch - any info you have would be gratefully received. My James Allan was born Chapel of Garioch in ...

His origins of birth are not proven, but I think he originates from Rosehearty. He is one of my brick walls. If he was a master cooper he must have served an apprenticeship some...

Re: Uniforms

I've been waiting for POW info for a long time and now have found info on my great uncle who was reported as missing in action on 13 Nov 1916. Great site Heather and even better being free.

Re: Uniforms
