Thank-you Jackie,
I understand the logic in this.
I almost feel that Cristian wished to stay 'hidden', but this is not 'joined-up thinking'..! |

I have also thought along the same lines from he named his father Donald or that he had other reasons.

Well, it is too bad about no positive results from a lot of the record sources in England. But Cristian only had between 17 and 22 years to make a mark in the records. That is not a lot of time for anyone, whether they had ulterior motives or not.
My 100% Norwegian ancestry grandmother remaked to me one time "to find the right one, a hundred you must try." I laughed at her and teased her "that you didn't follow your own advice, You stopped at the first one --Grandpa..." She said "no there were 3 others." To which I said "why am I hearing this for the first time? Tell me their names..." She said "I will not."
It was her business, not my business. |

But the d.c. of each & all the children should be collected as they would all be equally valuable.
And I'm still waiting to hear from the Bergen archive about the sailor records...
Derek, Jackie, - just a point of detail on this. As far as I am aware, UK death certificates do NOT normally include any info about the PARENTS of the deceased. They do include info on address of deceased, cause of death, and who is reporting that death - but Cristian pre-deceased all his children. It might be better to start with the full BIRTH certificates of all the children - they do include the names of both parents, and there may just be a clue if one or more shows a middle name for Cristian as has been suggested. |

| David, thanks for the information on British d.c.--I'm thinking like an American, so bow to better experience. |

Hi Derek et al,
As I think I may have mentioned a while back, another long-shot you might want to try is Riccardo (Rico) Peri, Rose Thompson's grandchild, who has a Facebook tag of https://www.facebook.com/rperi1. He lives on the Isle of Skye and is a motorbike nut.
I've been fleetingly in touch with him but not for a while.
Still looking for a decent DNA lab but it rather looks like 'you pays your money and takes your chance'. More shortly.
Cheers,
Frank T |

That's interesting Frank...In my insular mode I never knew of his existence.
Also still awaiting a reply from New Scotland Yard for a list of their approved DNA labs.
I was surprised that the Met. forensic lab. had shut. It was world renowned for its expertise, and, forces from all over the globe used its facilities.
Price cuts in the name of austerity I suspect. |

I haven't posted for the past few days:
Grandfather Cristian hasn't been forgotten about, but, my outstanding lines of inquiry are slow in forthcoming. |

A while ago I went down this route, more in hope than expectancy, but, is this an Eureka moment..? The bottom line gives me more confidence than I had yesterday in the mystery which is Cristian Tomson.
Re. Tomson (Forces war record search).
Dear Derek
Thank you for your recent request to hire a researcher on www.forces-war-records.co.uk
Our researcher has looked at your enquiry and is confident of finding the person you are looking for. He has left the following message for you:
Thank you for your enquiry which I am happy to accept. I shall be searching for his service record, any details of his unit and medal information.
Please will you email me on lawrence.woodcock@btinternet.com so as I can send you the research when complete. The research should be with you in about 10 days.
Many thanks
Lawrence Woodcock
Researcher
PS - I can tell you that I have traced his service record!
Regards,
www.forces-war-records.co.uk

Snap..! Jackie.
Obviously I have replied to Mr Woodcock explaining all the kick-backs I have had with regard Cristian's Army record. Everyone in authority I have spoken with previously assured me Cristian's Army record, with thousands of others were destroyed by enemy action in WW2. I outlined this to Mr W. I was also told some time ago that although thousands of these records were 'destroyed' charred remains of such were kept by a visionary who thought that years down the line the remains could be accessed through scientific means...perhaps this is what may have happened. It also shews me the difference between a professional researcher and a 'dabbler' like me..! |
