The idea is that starting tomorrow, everybody who wants to take part copies out the form from post #1 of and fills in all the info they already have about whichever great-grandparent has come top in the poll (at the moment, father's mother's father is in the lead).

Then you post up a new thread on the Research board with a prefix of [TOGG] (don't worry if you don't know how to do this because you will see the option as soon as you click on the New Thread button; just select [TOGG] from the prefix dropdown menu. If you forget then we can add it for you anyway).

Put your great-grandparent's name in the thread title - or if you don't know their name put whatever you like, lol. Fill in the info that you have and then we can all get busy trying to fill in the blanks for ourselves and for each other.

Hope not Maggie, the one I voted for was born in America.

It starts this morning, actually, as soon as I've posted up the instructions! And it covers all the world, definitely not just England and Wales. I for one am certainly hoping for help with other countries.

Oh dear, I don't think I'd better participate in this one. I've got loads of information about the person I thought was my father's mother's father (who's listed as her father on her birth cert), but some recent information suggests that his wife was playing away...
