Are you trying to find family alive now, or track down your familys history? I'd love to be able to trace family history, to try find some controversy- cos although my relatives no some stuff, they don't have much records or memory- but one uncle attempted it once- I don't know if he got far, apart from finding my Grandmothers half-brothers and sisters in england, but I think they knew about it before- but now- HE KNOWS WHERE THEY LIVE!

Well, I hope to find family that is still living. To know where my great Grandfather came from and I'd like to know who my great great grandparents and great great great grandparents and so on were.
