About 70% of the World War 1 records were destroyed in a raid on London during World War 2 in 1940.\nMy Grandfather fought in WW1 and was gassed. While he survived he died very young at 41 in India. The Indian records office was burned down after independence. There are no records of his service.
My grndmother was told her 1893 adoption file burned in a courthouse fire. No one quetioned this until I began asking questions in 2013. Guess, what, it was a lie. No fire. The file was with the local historical society's collection.
Information and insight rich presentation! Thanks!
Great reminders!
The speaker was very informative. It will help me with my research.
Very informative and I want to do more courthouse research now after this webinar.
Opened my eyes to other sources
