Tracing help.
Posted: October 22nd, 2018, 10:38 am
I would like to trace my maternal grandfather and don't know where to start.
He was born in Ireland probably over 100 years ago and came from County Longford. He lived most of his adulthood in Scotland. I only met him once as a kid and only know that he was in the army for a very long time. He served in the Inniskilling Dragoon/ fusiliers (?}, the Scots Guards and the Seaforth Highlanders. That's all I know.
He came from a poor rural background and I understand birth certificates as we know them were not common.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
