Nicola Report 9 Jul 2018 12:12

I am trying to find any descendants of May Jackson and Roy Forbes. Any descendants of Ronald Forbes and Rhoda Coulling and any descendants of May Jackson/ Forbes and James Armstrong Cornwall. My great grandfather was adopted so never knew many of his siblings and there descendants but it would be nice to finally fill in the missing pieces for his children. Nicola.

Have you checked on here in search all member trees?

EDITED 10/7

I've checked - and both Gerald and Ronald are in trees other than yours. Try making contact with the tree 'owners'
