Hi, just a tip, its really hard to read caps, so do change your query to normal type which will encourage people to read it. So you are looking for your mums nephews and nieces. You have their names - you have checked none have died - do you know if any married and who they married? Have you done a search of all the trees on here and have you tried Friends Reunited just in case one of them has listed on there? You have checked the local telephone directories and got nothing? Then it seems they may have moved on. Have you tried the site B4U? Hopefully your name isnt Smith or something common - you could trawl that for likely matches. If you know the area of Birmingham they lived in I would be tempted to place an ad in the local paper or telephone the local radio and ask them to put out a message asking for info about relatives of your mum.
