Finding Siblings
« on: Monday 28 March 05 23:05 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone,
I am new at searching and wondered if anyone has tips on how to find siblings. I know my mother's parents names and where they lived. We are pretty sure she had some brothers but have no idea how to find out for sure.

Thanks

Hi golfcanada!

Welcome to RootsChat  ;)

What dates were your grandparents born approximately as it will be much easier to find them if that was prior to 1901 as they will appear in the census returns which are available.  Returns after 1901 have not been released yet due to the 100 year rule.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes

Hi golfcanada,

Just a wee note to add to Ticker's message . . if your ancestors were Scottish, try Scotland's People, it costs to view/download certificates but the site has a wealth of information. The 1901 Cencus is also available online.
