Hi Leanne and welcome! If you scroll down a bit, you will see a section on the left called 'New to GR' which will give you some information to get started. The Tips board is also a good place to give or get help. Everyone on here is really friendly and helpful, and we were all new once! It's surprising how quickly you will get the hang of it all! Mandy :)

Hi try talking to various memebers of your family, you will be surprised at how much info you can get that way, Unles, Aunties, Grandparents and they can give you other contacts within the family, l did all that before l came on site and am still doing it
