Have you put the names in the search family trees? Cant you ring mum and ask where she saw them?

if you are thinking there is a member of your dad's family who has put their family tree on this site and you want to contact them do find out more, what you need to do is this...... Click where it says Search (with the magnifier symbol) further up this page........then enter the name(s) your mum saw.....you will probably get a list of matches for each name along with years of birth and the first name of each tree owner. if anything looks hopeful, then click the name of the tree owner and you can send them a message. Obviously I don't know the circumstances of your family....but you might be needing to think carefully about what you are going to say.......?? (possibly?) Good Luck! Merry
