Find Ancestors

hi to all... i am feeling a bit confused at moment... as... i did not think that looking in the ancestors search thread would find living relatives...so thought i would try the living thread. sitting here thinking about it though ican see the point of having one thread as you very kind people find out all you can!!...was i wrong in looking to see if there are any connections in other peoples trees?...i dont want to make kind people waste time looking for what has already been researched....sorry...regards marie

Since Harold died less than a year ago, you can still leave a message in the online guest book at the link MargaretM gave above.

It sounds like his niece made the funeral arrangements and you could ask the funeral home to give her your contact info.


Margaret's point, Marie, is that the rule here is one thread per inquiry. Starting a new thread invites people to do the same searching over again that has already been done, as already happened in your second thread.

Hello Margaret... I have not left this sight just wanted to see if anyone had these names in their tree and found 2 so messaged them have not had a reply. Will certainly let you wonderful people the outcome of why friends in Canada want know the info for. ... regards marie

Why did you start a new thread, Marie, and not bother to return to this one?
