Mora Weir was my great great aunt and was married to James Weir who was an Air Commodore serving with the RFC. They were an amazing couple. Family lore is that she demonstrated the parachute to the Russian Army in WW1 – he flew, she jumped.

What date did she get her license?

Welcome on board Sheena to the Institute of Genealogical Studies. I read the announcement this morning on Dick Eastman’s news page. I have been trying for years to complete the basic level Scottish Records along with others. Only one course left “Scottish: Historical Publications” but a review may be needed of previous course to refresh my memory. If you see Louise say hello for me.
