The tree owner appears to share an ER address in 2002 with Martin.

How would u go about looking on trees of people born in Wythenshawe?

patchem

patchem Report 5 Aug 2013 19:49

You cannot see their whole trees.
You can search for individuals in people's trees.
If you go to
Search/Search All Member Trees (Top right)
You can enter their names and year of birth and Wythenshawe and you should then find a 'hit'
You can then try to contact the tree owner by clicking on 'Find Out More'.

However, she may know nothing about you, so you have to consider how to approach her and what you want to say.
