Names I have in my family tree do not appear when searching the search family trees perhaps that is why I never get anyone asking about my names thank you Margaret

Margaret, have you tried just putting in a surname, rather than a full one. I often get matches on surnames which turn out fruitful with a bit of further investigation.

If you put Alfred born 1854 he comes up with your name as the tree owner.,but not 1853. Glen
