Hello Ann,

If you’re looking for living relatives rather than deceased ancestors you may get results from http://www.genesreunited.com/search.asp

If you haven’t already been there check all your names, especially any that might be a bit unusual, and you might be lucky enough to find relatives who are looking for you. (You can search for free)

All the best,
Alan
