Military records announcement!
We’re excited to announce that from 7th -14th November 2010, you can search and view the original historical documents from our three most-used military collections completely free.
We’re making the following collections free-
- British Army WWI Service Records, 1914–1920
- British Army WWI Pension Records, 1914-1920
- British Army WWI Medal Rolls Index Cards, 1914-1920
The free period will end on Sunday 14th November at midnight so make sure you get all your searches done before then!
Look out for more information this Sunday.
I’m trying to find the roots of my grandfather who was in the Civil War. Some say the Shepherd’s came from Ireland and Scotland. Elijah Washington Shepherd seemed to have lived in Sullivan County, Indiana most of his life but where were his parents from? I think his dad’s name was Eli W. Shepherd. His mother was Lucy Stark. Elijah married Seba Elizabeth Wright. I do not know anymore about his roots.
I have good information on my grandfather from here.

But your SEARCH can’t find him, surprised not located via Service No. and Regiment.
He was from Keighley, West Yorkshire.

“14th November at midnight” – for overseas researchers “midnight” does this refer to GMT?
