Hi Natalie

I'm not sure you will be able to trace them. If they were registered at birth under the name Smith, I am sure you can imagine that there will be literally thousands and you don't know the christian names (a pity nan couldn't have mentioned these as well!) so how would you know which were your dad's siblings?
