Catherine You have to work at it. Don't expect to find anyone on this site, I never have since I joined many, many months ago. This site will provide you with many helpful tips and people will look things up for you. But you have to do all the searching yourself, it will take you a few weeks to establish a basic tree, months to get back a few generations and a life time to complete. And it won't come cheap. Gary

From a practical point of view, everybody has family back past their mother and father, it's just a case of identifying them!
