Tracing my American Great-Grandfather
« on: Tuesday 23 January 07 11:29 GMT (UK) »

I am trying to trace my American roots; my grandfather came to England with his brother and father; they went back to America but he stayed and married a Plymouth girl. All contact with the American side was lost, don't even know names, except for my great-grandfather! There may be a Philedelphia link. Am new to this, any ideas?

Welcome babygirl. You have come to the right place. Post all the information you know (no matter how insignificant you think) on the US lookup request and you will have plenty of help from the wonderful Rootschatters.

Hi babygirl -

Welcome to Rootschat. I am in full agreement with what Kath wrote in her post .... provide any / all information you know / have about your family and I am sure someone will be able to assist you in your quest.

Again welcome to Rootschat and good luck in your family search.
