[QUOTE="Br. Adamson, post: 13274, member: 411"] Interesting stuff Nick, thanks for sharing. My number is N0001, from my grandfather and father. However, I have always been puzzled how my father and uncle got to be N0001 and N0002, when they separated their partnership in the late '70s? The last name starts with A, so i always assumed we were the first number for alphabetical reasons, but how could my uncle get to be N2 so much later than the register was set up? I am now wondering if granddad got N2 for the kids in 1958, as my father would have been 19 at the time. Another question you have raised for me relates to some frames we have had since the 1920's. They had the number 6 branded on them. I was always told this was from when hives were first registered in the 20's. But it would now seem there was no "number" as such at that time? Or could have my great grandmother opted to put her number on them anyway? Its entirely likely that they were just somebody elses' frames, but i am pretty confidant they were made and branded well before 1958. [/QUOTE]
