Hmmmm.....my Grandfather was knighted by the Queen for some kind of physics award, working as partners with a dude who won the physics nobel prize. He also had a university campus, named after him and was head of the Imperial college for 10 years and mapped out world geographical ....things.

He was in charge of teaching radar to pilots in WW11 and was involved in nuclear research....also running SURN for quite a while.
My other great grandfather and grandfathers weren't famous but both fought in WW1.
It would be great to trace down my family, how can you do this?
