Hi, I have just started and cannot find a way to contact a relative who years ago was on this site and I sent him some pictures of my aunts.

Please help as I would like to know about my grandfather on my mothers side.

Welcome to the boards, Jenny.

You could try looking for your relative on "Search all member trees", under "Search" at the top right of this page.
If you find a result for him, and if he is also the tree owner (at right of page), click "Find out more" and send a message to him.
There's no guarantee that he will be able to receive or answer your message, though - for many possible reasons.
He may have stopped looking at this site; maybe lost interest in family tree; maybe changed his email address without updating GR; the list goes on.

Re your grandfather -

give us some details and we'll see what we can find out about him for you.
Name? DoB? Place? Names of parents/wife/children?

What was your grandfather’s name?

When and where was he born?

Was he married to your mother’s mother?
