	If you search for her name in "Search all members trees" (under "Search" at the top of this page), you'll see that someone named John has her in his tree. At least, he has an Elizabeth Gooch, born 1794 in Suffolk - might be a different one. Click on "Find out more" to ask him about her. EDIT: See Sylvia's detailed advice above.

	Welcome, Bronwyn ........... To find out if any GR member does have Elizabeth in their tree, you have to search trees yourself. Go to Search at the top right Click on Search All Member Trees Enter her name and relevant information in the boxes ......... remembering that less is often better than more. The names of members who have in their trees, if any, will appear. You then have to contact each of those members individually by sending a private message (pm) to them through the GR system. GR sends an email to that member to let them know there is a pm waiting for them Do give some detail on why you are contacting, why you think their Elizabeth might be your Elizabeth, and how you are connected to Elizabeth. After you have sent you message, keep an eye on your Sent Messages to see if it has been opened .......... Go to Messages, click on Sent Messages If there is a green envelope to the left of the name, the message has NOT been opened. If there is no envelope, the message has been opened, and then you just have to wait to see if the member sends a reply. Some members may not do so. The message may not be opened for several reasons, including ............... member has changed their email address and not notified GR member has lost interest and pays no attention to messages from GR member has died or become incapacitated. Good luck

	Welcome to the boards, Bronwyn. It's a very slim chance that anyone who has Elizabeth in their tree will happen to see your post here. What is it you want to know about her? The helpers on the board will be happy to help if we can, even though we're not related.

Member Since: October 2015 Posts: 1 Send Message	Does anyone have an Elizabeth Gooch in their family married to a John Brown of Lound Suffolk in the latter part of the 1700s. :-(
