Find Ancestors

I did not ask anyone to look for me I asked if anyone could tell me how I and I am stressing the word " I " find his family that is all I wanted to know I am not asking anyone to search for me just point me in the right direction and I will do it myself . But thanks for all your help but everyone can stop looking now never thought I would get all this from asking one simple question.

Dear Patricia

Just to reiterate what others have said...in your initial post you should specify what you know (in detail) and what you don't know/are looking for.

Nobody is criticising you...but we shouldn't have to ask you questions....it's the best way of us finding stuff that might help you :-)

Jude

Thanks x

I posted electoral addresses for adol after they were married .Theyb lived at Catherine's family home in Phoebe street Poplar

Arset occupation was a seaman. Did you mean his address on his marriage certificate if so it was 19 wells street popular. If not then I don't know where they lived once they was married. Witnesses was I think it said C Poulson & J Johnson. Thank you for asking me these questions before you look.

Arset Seman I already posted but I know nothing else he ran away to see from Malay that's it

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

I think the guidelines for posting here do say to give as much info as possible

pinned at the top of Find Ancestors:

*PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING*
http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/ancestors/thread/1267972
'Give as much detail as possible when explaining who you are trying to find. All known information will make it much easier for volunteer helpers to help you.' etc.

people are interested and want to help, but appreciate having the known info to work with

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.

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.

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))

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

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

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.
