Question:

Any Harveys still living in Lowestoft?


I am a South African and my grandfather, John Harvey, went to S.A. to fight in the Anglo Boer War. After the war, he settled in South Africa.
Any relatives running around out there?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: itsjustme, do you have any idea when the boer war was? trust me, anyone alive at that time is long dead. the second boer war ended in 1902.

I wasn't going to answer this until I saw that intelligent answer. lol
My Great-Grandmothers name was Harvey before she married, and even though all Harveys belong to the scottish Keith clan, I wouldn't really consider us related, but always nice to see the clan going strong. Good luck in your search. My Great-Grandmother grew up in Staffordshire.

So I guess I am the only person here that noticed itsjustme specified a person, as in still living.
Plus, I think if any Harveys were still in the Lowestoft area they could post info on themselves without it being against the rules. he is asking directly, are you related to me, not do you know anyone related to me. no where does Tokoloshimani say that he wants people to post info on possible relatives on this page, he's asking if people out there might be related to him, and as itsjustme has demonstrated with a personal message, messages can be sent to people directly without having to post info on the website and I doubt that yahoo really cares what is sent via that method as personal emails are no ones business.

Finally, love the immature and over reactive response to my post. The personal insults are particularly funny. though lost on me I'm afraid, I don't know you and really don't care what you think of me as neither itsjustme or the person who called me a halfwit know me from Adam.

by the way, know lots about genealogy, have traced and been helping relatives to trace over a thousand years worth of ancestors on my fathers side and just under a thousand years on my mothers. love the halfwit comment by the way. xxx Sadly if there are still relatives living in Lowestoft it is highly unlikely that you will get the information here. Its considered unethical to post information in relation to any living person on any yahoo forum.

You could try www.192.com or even the electoral registers they can be found at the local library for Lowestoft. The link below is a complete list of every library in Lowestoft.

This contact address is for the manager of the library services in the whole county, and there's a phone number as well.

Why not try a letter to the Lowestoft newspaper? Address it to The Readers' Letters Column, and ask the question again.
Try to give a little more info, like other first names.
Find the address of the newspaper on line, just google "Lowestoft newspaper" and it should come up with something. Like itsjustme said and that stupid half wit Lucy mocked her, if its information regarding LIVING HARVEY relatives you wont get it on here, theres a golden rule goes with genealogy , never post information about the living . If she knew the first thing about it she wouldn't be insulting people. Have a look at www.192.com, good luck and good hunting
