Having got back several generations I am finding it harder to pick out an ancestral sibling and follow his/her descendancy. Short of waiting until a distant cousin may make contact with the missing info, has anyone got any tips?

	Not at the moment Jim but I'm hoping I'm one of your younger distant cousins - still looking for a link lol!! Elaine (nee Weatherall)

	Hi Jim... I have found many of the siblings marriages in my tree and then trace them back... sometimes find rellies staying with them on different census too. Anne :)))
