Have you tried "Search all trees" under the Search button above?

If you find a possible match then you can contact the tree owner to see if you have a connection.

Try sending them a message - just delete the default message that appears about having access to their tree and type your own message explaining who you are looking for.

Researching:
Bagley, Millington, Morrey, Edwards, Sims, Weaver
