Sappho,

Jax has practiced what her sticky thread says... she has said

"I have given this info by pm already to Wendy"

and referred to the thread indicating where she has done so.

I won't say you were quick to judge but instead say that you may have missed that post.

Cheers Persie

Although Bernard has Facebook it does'nt look active, so will send a current address for his step daughter who could then pass a letter on to him if all else fails

Sappho

I mentioned what I had done without mentioning names on the other thread, I did'nt mention there were two children on the thread, as there was not much point as I had'nt found anything after marriage for the half sister....but there was enough to go on to find at least one family member

Wendy told me she has now been in contact with her birth mothers sister by telephone and it went well....so far so good :-)

Think I have found Bernard on Facebook...search for Bernie

as I said before...messages on facebook do not get notifications from "non friends" so send him a friend request with a message...you have got nothing to loose as both parents are now dec'd

He can only say yes or no

Go to the search at top of the screen and select "Search all trees"

enter his name in the boxes provided... no need to put year as not many come up.

Click on "find out more " next to the name bernard (tree owner)

send a message (remove automated one first) and change title to perhaps your mother name

When the message box comes up there is a membership number by his name...his most recent one is in the 11 million range

cant seem to follow your suggestions, must be daft, not used to this HELP ,!

jax

jax Report 21 May 2013 20:47

If you click on "Find out more" next to his name an automated message comes up with

"Can I vew your tree ect"

it is best to remove that message and compose one of your own
