Diane..This is the post at the top of the Trying to Find board and may help if you read it and maybe edit your opening post a little and let us know if you want to find living people or trace back..

Trying to Find : HOW TO USE THE 'TRYING TO FIND' BOARD

There are many volunteer helpers on the ‘Trying to Find’ board who will happily help any member who has hit a brick wall when looking for a certain ancestor or trying to locate lost family. Below are a few helpful hints as to how to get the most out of the ‘Trying to Find’ board.

Give as much detail as possible when explaining who you are trying to find. All known information will make it much easier for volunteer helpers to help you.

If known, try putting the name, place of birth and year of birth in the subject line of your thread.

After posting a question, please stay on the boards for a while as replies are very quick. You may be needed to answer questions and give feedback to the replies given. Please be aware that you will not receive answers into your inbox.

To reply to a post, simply click on the purple ‘Reply’ button found at the very top of the thread.

To return to a thread that you posted on Genes Reunited click on 'My Threads' in the left hand navigation of your screen, then click on your thread title.

Please don’t post about the same person or family twice as this can make extra work for the volunteer helpers.

If you want to bring attention to your thread and nudge it up to the top of the boards to gain more attention just add to or comment on the thread yourself.

If any of our much appreciated volunteer helpers have anything you think should be added to this list please email [email protected] with the subject line 'Trying to find tips'.

The words Please and Thank You also help to get assistance.
