Hi Geordielass45

Welcome to Rootschat  ;D

We have a 'no living people' policy here so please don't post any details on the forum as they will be removed.

There are hints and tips here which you may or may not have tried

and
Topic: Searching for living relatives and Rootschat
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,142443.0.html

If you can post again and get your count to 2 and above, then you will have access to the personal message (pm) system. I can try to help if you want to send me the details you do have by pm.

As rootschat has a no living persons policy, you are better advised to try a website that allows discussion of living people.  That way the helpers can work together to attempt to find the missing person.

e.g. http://www.GenesReunited.co.uk/boards/board/living_relatives
