I'm having difficulty tracing members of my family that I lost contact with as a baby. Although Leeds and Pontefract aren't a million miles apart, when my grandma died in 1974 the rest of my family lost contact with the rest of hers( I believe there was some bad feeling). The trouble is I just don't know how to go about tracing anyone who might still be alive. I know that she had siblings, some brothers and at least one sister, but haven't got a clue how to start. Any help would be appreciated. many thanks....Craig
