Member Since: October 2012 Posts: 9 Send Message	Thanks very much for the welcome Jax and Quoy . You have given me some very useful info there. I am looking to find relatives from the past and present , so it's a shame that the tree owner on Ancestry is no longer a member, never mind, will keep searching! Best of luck with your research.

	Hi Lorri and welcome. If you click on "Search" at the top.........and then click on "Search All Trees" from the drop down menu........you can then enter your ancestors details to see if any other members have your family in their trees. If you find any connections.......you can then contact the tree owners by sending them a message. Happy Researching.........Prickles.
