Thanks to everyone for the advice. I've started using the Search other trees bit, and getting hits on known relatives, and have tracked down several distant relations with huge family trees! I've even been able to offer small bits of information back to them. |

I've recently started to research my family tree, but am really struggling. I know lots of names, but the dates are somewhat cloudy and it makes it nearly impossible to match records up with family members. Am I missing something? Is there a way to view details of births on line so that I can see who the parents were etc? I just feel like I'm going round in circles and getting absolutely nowhere. I've exhausted family knowledge, but unfortunately, this only gets me back as far as my grandparents and then without firm dates... Any suggestions gratefully received. |
