You could look In search trees to see if anyone has them listed

Other than that you may have to buy some certs to follow his family backwards

Hi, I'm looking into my fathers family which is the swain family.his name was barry swain and he was born in Boston Lincolnshire with his parents Lilly Constance and fredrick swain who lived in Boston most of their life. My dad died in 1989 and as he was an only child we do not have any family on that side. I would be happy to hear about his family. Hope someone can help :-)
