I would appreciate your thoughts on this. A few minutes ago I received an email via Ancestry asking for information on my Great Aunt (who I knew as a child and into my 30's). He stated that he had her medals from WW1 and was "researching" her. As it happens, I have quite a lot of very interesting information on her as well as pictures etc. and another family member has a scrap book of her time as a VAD with lots of photos etc.
Although I keep my tree private on Ancestry, he could actually access some of the photos if he knew how! Maybe the stories and accounts - I'm not sure!
I would really like to have those medals - I suspect they were sold in error when she died. If I give him information, would it make them more valuable?
How much are those sorts of things worth anyway?
I don't want to put the price up if I have the chance to buy them!
I googled him and he seems to be a collector for 30 years and his main interest is in medical/RAMC medals. Whatever that is!
It is such a shock - I'm quite upset, though I am sure he has every right to them! I emailed to say that I have lots of information, but was wondering how he has them and are we related. (I'm sure we are not!)
Thanks for reading this
