Hi
I just wondered if it is still possible for you to look for out Ancesters during the Corornavirus out break please
Thankyou
Olive Jean

Of course it is - online info is still available

Have you looked at any of the sites?

Olive Jean -
the people who reply on these boards are just members like yourself, in our own homes. We are not employees of GenesReunited.
We are always happy to help with family tree queries if we can.

If you do want to contact actual GR staff, email [email protected]
I don't know if they're still working at present or not.
BUT they do not do family tree research for you at any time.

Hi Everyone hope you are all keeping safe
I wonder if someone could help me please
I am researching the family of Wilfred Pinney Born 1894 Luton Beds Died 1968
He married Lizzie Summerfield born 1899 Sundon Bedfordshire Died 1970

I don’t seam to be able to find Wilfred Pinney on 1911 Census
Maybe he went to join WW1
His father Arthur Pinney born 1961 Died 1915 Luton Beds
Is living on 1911 Census with a relative Luton Bedfordshire
His mother Eliza Annette born 1862 Clifton Berkshire Died 1909 Luton Beds

I think Arthur father is William Pinney 1832 - 1901Luton Bedfordshire
Mother is Eliza. Wingrave born 1833 -66 Luton Bedfordshire
I am not a member of Ancestry co U.K. and our Local Library is closed , due to this awfull Coronavirus
Thankyou
Olive Jean
