Dear Jennifer

To help you, you need to add the details of birth and
specific places for the relatives you want to look for.

Then you can start a more in depth search for your relatives.

Have you checked the freeBMD for your relatives?

Please do not disclose e-mail address. It is unwise.
If anyone has information for you, then they will contact you through your request thread or if it is more sensitive info to give, GR members will send a personal message.

Good luck with your search.

Jennifer,

Just Google the word freebmd and it will come up with their home page. It enables you to do a free search on Births, Marriages and Deaths in England and Wales, so it should be helpful for finding info about some of your relations, at least.

Good luck

Sue

Dear Jennifer

For Irish ancestors, look at the Genes Reunited Tips Board.

There is a thread called:

INFORMATION ONLY for those searching for IRISH gen.
It was last looked at on 04/05/2009 at 10-45pm.

It has lots of useful sites to help.

Hope this is useful to you.

Best wishes.
