She closed the account used to post the other request without acknowledging the help, and has now opened a new one.

She has also posted on what is probably a totally unconnected thread just below this one, so may not be aware of how these boards operate

Thanks, ErikaH - I thought the names seemed familiar!
Because I've posted them before!

I've PM'd Diana.
She's not a new member, but has only posted 4 times, so maybe doesn't realise she has to keep checking her threads for replies.

What research have you done? What time period are you looking at? What information are you hoping for?

You don’t give enough information for anyone to effectively help you.

Look at Search/ search all members trees to see if anyone has your family in their trees.
