Find Living Relatives

id like to know how you go about finding relatives that may have had children when you dont know there names ect?? is it at all possible................

say for eg,
i have a Margaret Gibson ( Aunty) that is daughter to my deseased grandfather. I have just found her as she was daughter to is first marriage , and i remembered my nan giving him an ultimatum(second wife)

would be nice to know if i can find any more details about her and the wereabouts ...................

How would i know who she married and what children she had after this date???? <3 <3 <3

If she has a very common name, it is very difficult.
If she has a more unusual name, and stays in the same area for her marriage and the rest of her life, it is a lot easier. Remember that she might not have married, or had any children.
It is useful to start with the birth certificate for exact date of birth, name, to check you have the correct person.
Have you looked to see if anyone on here has her in their tree?

You must have the birth details to know about her.


Assume she married (IF she did) at around the age of 21 - search for a marriage based on that assumption.

If you find one that looks likely, get the cert, to verify father's details, which you know.

Then look for possible children of the union.

You've given the name in your post, but no other info, so our advice is obviously not detailed.

If she is likely to be living, please be careful about what you post on here, as the site is not secure.

k thanks for that . i have managed to find some...................
