New member introducing myself

Question

Hello, my name is Chris Wood and I had never heard of Wikitree until today!

I have been reading Field Marshall Lord Allanbrooke’s war diaries and came across the name of his great friend Ivan Cobbold, killed by a V1 flying bomb in the Guard’s Chapel on 18th June 1944. Trying to find out more about him led me purely by chance to this site and it seems quite intriguing.

I am barely computer literate, but would very much like to do some research into my own family and think that this may be an excellent starting point.

Any guidance would be most welcome.

Many thanks

Chris
