First World War Ancestors

Writers researching the First World War period can now seek their ancestor online on a British National Archives website.

The site: www. Ancestry.co.uk has put the last batch of surviving First World War army service and pension records online.

First World War medal index cards can be just as important as service records for an ancestor search, said the Archive.

Over five million of the cards survive, making them the most complete listing of those who served in the war. The cards help researchers to find out about an ancestors' medals, rank, unit and where they served.

Online research signposts provide tips on researching military ancestors with our research signposts. Good luck with your research!

Service records of officers who served in the Royal Air Force (RAF) during the First World War are available to search and download now.
