Member Since: October 2005 Posts: 3 Send Message	Help I am new to this site and can't seem to find any of my relatives listed in any of the categories. Where am I going wrong?

	GR’s primary focus is on records for England & Wales. If your relatives lived there, perhaps you’re being too precise with your search parameters? Trying using the nearest large town or even the county in which they were born or lived. William John might have been known as John W or even Jack W on census which can throw things. Relatives can also change their declared ages at the drop of a hat, or even might not be certain when they were born.
