Can you put someone on the "Trying to find " board ,if they are not in your family tree? I have tried but without success. My problem is change of name by deed poll, ie. same person,but different name to the one I entered on my tree, if that makes sense!! Sue

the answer is no you can't. What you need to do is creat a fictional person with the surname you wish to find. then palce you trying to find message. When this is done delete the fictional person Shelli
