On researching my Grandfathers family I found that some of his siblings emigrated to Australia and New Zealandso there is a great possibility I may still have some living relatives. Any ideas on how I would go about finding them. |

If they went before 1960 you should find them on the passenger lists |

Hi Jax, I don't have access to the passenger lists, what details do you need. They may have gone in the early 1900's. Mary |
