Many people will be willing to help, but will need guidance from you regarding first names, area of interest and dates.

Have you looked on Search all members trees on top right hand of screen?

If you find a match with any of your people, you can click on the tree holder's name to find out more and hopefully share information.

If you want to ask for specific help about a particular family, you could put the name in a thread title, giving dates and what information you already know.

Welcome to the boards, Sekeena.

Unfortunately your request is rather vague.

If you’re trying to trace your ancestry, it might be better to start a new thread in Find Ancestors.

Please give as much detail as you can.
Full names & parents names if applicable.
Year of birth.
Place of birth.
Last area/town/village they were known to live.

It helps to include counties if it’s an obscure village in the middle of nowhere, or there are several of the same name.
