Saunders

[scottsaunders1978]

Hi,

I am not too sure of what I am asking for here so please bear with me, I know very little about my family and as such the idea of genealogy has started to appeal to me.

Now, the name I was to find out about is Saunders, I know that my father was born in Birmingham on 03/06/1980, his name is Victor James Saunders, he had a brother and 2 sisters, His father was Christopher James Saunders and I know that he was from Birmingham but that is where the lead stops. Chris was in the Navy and married a Scottish girl in Troon Ayrshire where he meet her whilst stationed in the Navy.

Is there anything that I can get from this?

I do have a death certifiate from my fathers uncle attached to my site which shows that a Victor Saunders was born and died within 1 day in Birmingham, the fathers name is on here so maybe that can lead me along the right way.

the site is located at

Anyone know what I can do?
