Hi. I'm Alby.
I'm trying to find out more about my dad Edward James Reeves.
He's been gone for over thirty two years now.
Mum can't give me any help, she has advanced Alzheimer's.
His siblings are all dead, and we moved from the UK to Oz over 50 years ago.

I started on a well known ancestry site and found out some amazing things, but the old man seems a bit of a mystery.

I found his birth papers, his marriage to Mum and his emigration papers when we came to Oz in 1968 but there's a big gap between birth (1923) and marriage (1957).

He always told us he'd served in WW2 but I can't find anything for him (searching for that brought me to this forum).

Hopefully I can pick up a few pointers here, I'm new to genealogy but I'm always keen to learn something new.

Cheers..Alby.
