This is often found in a user submitted entry on the IGI.

Julie if you post the details we can have a look for you.

Your pedigree is determined by you direct ancestors, parents, grandparents, great-grandparents and so on.

Family are all those related to you by blood, brothers. sisters, cousins, aunts and uncles and the siblings and descendants of your ancestors.

Much the best way to find out...........
