How important is contact ?

One of them may have taken care of the orphaned child .

hi, thanks for looking I did have the information about the death of Irene and Ernest
it is for the above 1966 birth that I am helping him search for any information of other decendants as he was adopted at about 8 months and brought up in Australia.
His parents were married for 14 years before giving him up.

Hello Dorothy,

The best way to look for descendents on this site is by putting the names you are researching into the Search Trees box above. This will show you if anyone else has them in their tree.

If you find a connection, you can contact the tree owner who will receive a message from Genes stating that someone wishes to contact them. This may be better than a 'cold' call out of the blue from a complete stranger.

There are some members on here with Irene and Ernest in their trees.

Regards. Cx
