have managed to make contact with a releative who had added a postum to a marriage record on freeBMD stating This is my 2G Grandfather, together with their email address.
A quick email to them say "Is this the son of John and Mary Smith. I am researching family of their son James" and I get back yep we are related.
Seems like a fantastic way to make quick links to people - without everyone having to buy the certificate.
Anyone got any thoughts on whether we should all start doing this?
