" WANTED: Someone to go back in time with me.

This is not a joke. You'll get paid after we get back. Must bring own weapons - safety not guaranteed. I have done this once before. "


Whoever placed this daft ad is fibbing, because it's been in the paper before now.

If you're interested, let me know and I'll give you the email address.

lol ~ one way to find those elusive ancestors!

It would be interesting to read the replies and know of the advertisers previous experience!

Researching:
Matthew and Jane Elwood who had my great great grandfather Francis Edward Elwood baptised in 1807 at Horsham Sussex. There is no sign of Matthew or Jane from this date and my great great grandfather was brought up as Francis Edward Elwood MITCHELL

Is it a Battle re-enactment, or 'Living Museum' type of thing? :-)

Only a Genealogist considers a step backwards as progress.

LadyScozz i vote that as you're the nearest that you apply and let us know what its all about. :-D

I wonder if its something to do with hypnotic regression. I used to quite fancy the idea of doing that until I realised I could turn up in some horrific circumstance.

aaaaaaah

Susan ~ the ad reads the same as the one in the wiki story, plus a gmail address.

Maybe the ad was placed by the guy who runs the local video store, he's been trying to sell the business for ages.

I really don't fancy going back 200 years, especially where I am....there wouldn't be much here.
