Hello Brian and welcome to the boards. I see you are a new poster and member and may not be aware that it is against GRs rules to display an email address as this is not a secure site so please remove yours.

We are all members, mostly researching our own trees but we do not have a connection to yours. We just all enjoy giving a hand, if we can, when people need help or advice.

As you have put Irish in your heading, you may get help from one of the Irish members of GR when they notice it. They are more specialised in finding Irish records and generally manage to help a great deal.

Good luck

Liz <3

My bad, sorry about posting my email address. Is there another way one can connect personally with a living relative on this website?

You can go to Search, which is in the top right hand of the page beside the magnifying glass, then click on Search all member trees.
If you enter the details you know you will be able to see a list of people with those names in their trees. You can then get in touch with the members and hope you hear back from them.
