Information of the fact that you already knew who his father was, who he married, and when and how he died ...........would have saved us all a lot of time and effort in helping you find his family.

As you already have all the information that I took hours to find........I will delete.


:-)

If you read what I wrote first it said I wanted his Malaysian family that is where I am stuck I am sorry you miss read but thanks any way but please do not assume it was my fault

Your first post wrote.....

"Adol came from Malaysia Singapore how do I find his family"

It wasn't clear about exactly which members of his family you were looking for...His Malaysian family?...past or present?

Good luck with your research.

Prickles. ;o))

Try Googling "genealogy Malaysia" or "genealogy Singapore":

That's assuming "family" means "ancestors", as you have posted on the "Find Ancestors" board.

If you're looking for living relatives, I've no idea how you might find them.

No not looking for living relatives looking for dead Malaysian relatives I am new to this sight and did not realise what I needed to write but if any one was unsure they could have asked on this board before going ahead. Thank you to the people who found what boats adol was on and where he had been I had no idea only found his wife family my nan but thanks.

do you also know his father's name?

if he stated it when he married, it will be on his marriage certificate which you should obtain if you do not have it
