Find Living Relatives

It seems, from the wording of your posts, that you just plan to sit and wait for others to make the effort................................whereas, if you just stirred yourself a little , you could easily find potential contacts on GR

Sorry, I do not understand.

Are you just hoping that some time in the future someone will contact you (as jax suggested) and so do not actively want to search out possible descendants?

If that is your plan, then make sure you keep your contact details up-to-date with genes.

Where do you get your figure of 80% - do you mean paying members?

If you are expecting people to contact you, you are relying on those people paying in order to initiate contact, whilst you, apparently, do not want to pay.

Is that a correct reading of the situation?

Thankyou Reggie.

I do beg your pardon Jax, perhaps nobody should post on GR at all anymore. I posted on the offchance genealogists would type TIMMS in the available search engine.
But you have your merry little way, I wont be renewing, like 80% of members.

from freebmd...................it is SO easy to use

Look in 'search all trees' to find links on GR

Otherwise................do the research using freebmd etc

If you refer to these marriages:

Marriages Jun 1923

What children have you found, and have you contacted people with those children in their trees on here?

If so, what else do you expect us to do?

Added:
Edna appears to have been born in Australia in 1930, according to your tree?

Are you expecting these family members to see this thread?.....that may never happen I'm afraid,....or you may have a very long wait

Edna never married. And yes to looking on here/contacting people.. Any Sleighs from Coventry who know they have links to Timms, date irrelevant.

I think you need to give some names and dates.

Have you looked to see if anyone on here has those ancestors in trees on here, and made contact that way?

Is Edna Rose O'Neill her maiden or married name?

Presumably you have looked for possible births/marriages/deaths on free bmd or other websites?

Descendants of the Timms family in Coventry. Especially the Sleigh's, Potters, or Jarvis' families. Also family Edna Rose O'Neill who died in Australia in 1993. (All linked to Timms).
