Find Ancestors

I am Currently looking for ancestors on my maternal grandmother's side,

Surname was Briggs Married in to Adamson born 1935, Mother was believed to have the maiden name of Simpson.

Do you have any matches if so please PM me and we can collaborate and possibly view one another's tree's to confirm and extend on what we already have.

Welcome to the boards Neil. If you go to 'Search' at top right you can then put in the names and see if anyone else has a match to them.

if you need some help with info then post some specific names and what you are looking for and other members will be pleased to help.

Location would help to pinpoint the right families. Does this relate to the UK?

Whose mother was a Simpson? Your post is not clear

The MMN will be on the birth registration on freebmd, so no need to be unsure

Put your tree on here, so that anyone looking can contact you
