Good day... my name is Jenny Heather Steer (Nee Bowman)
I have lost contact with my cousins many moons ago.... I live in South Africa and would like to find her with your help....
I knew she has been married but I only know her Maiden surname...
Melody Spencer .... her Mom was Margrett and Dad Tex...
I think she has a son Ben....
It would be great to be able to get hold of her after all these years.
Thank you in advance
Jenny

Where in the world was she born? (If you have her father's actual given name, it doesn't sound British)

And approximately when?

Have you done any research? ( In 'search all member trees', for instance)

Where was she when you last had contact?

Jenny, I have posted on your thread on Chat re some other cousins of yours.

It might be an idea to keep all of your requests for living rellies on the same board eg Find Living Relatives :-)

Good luck
