What era !

No one is just likely to happen by your thread with an interest in these families. I'm sure there are many families with these names in those areas.

Your best bet would be to look in "Search" top of page and the "search all members trees". You can input the names you have and see if any other members have them in their tree.

There is then an option to contact those members. Tell them who you are linking them to and why you think you might be related.

Bear in mind that not everyone who joined GR is still a member or has any wish to make contact, or is able to make contact now, so don't be upset if folks don't reply.

Your other option is to be very specific about who you are interested in and post their details - with a bit more info. than you've opened with. 'Any information' covers a lot of ground.
