Hi polarbear thank you for linking the two threads together, I wasn't sure how to do it in this forum. I was aware of the policy of not talking of the living, I was just hoping that someone might have an idea of how to find the relatives. I have in fact sent many many letters in plea of someone recognising my grandfathers' picture. I made contact with a distant family member in Yorkshire, that is where my gf passed in 1995.
I have actually managed to trace his ancestors right back to 1700's. Seems I work better with the dead than the living
I had joined GenesReunited and have joined trees with a couple of people. It has become very expensive in deed with the exchanged rate,as I am in Aus, and most of my searching is in England and scotland.
I am a bit of a bloodhound and don't give up on a trail. I have placed numerous ads in newspapers and forums, also searched facebook.. but it is out there hopefully one day someone will see the picture and let me know. Thanks for your suggestions I will take your advice...
