My family name is Greaves but I cannot find any trace of my grandfather or g. grandad. The name greaves is used to sign marriage certificates but there are no birth or death certs. We think g.grandad might have changed his surname. Is there anybody out there who could suggest other simmilar names that perhaps sound similar or are spelt differently. I will be most grateful for any help. Thanks. Sheila
