Avoid starting your Subject heading with "trying to find..." !
Anyone looking to help you will find it very tedious & slow to plough through every message which begins with this phrase, and may well give up after a page of such starters.
Cut straight to the chase with the name and approximate date of the person/family you are researching - such data needs to be the first thing we see!
