Find Living Relatives

Looking for relatives of my dad, Norman C Kemp and grandfather, Henry C Kemp. Henry was born in Gorleston, 1891, and emigrated to Haifa. Grandmother was Julia(?) Allured. Dad was born in 1925, moved to Cyprus, married, and moved to Canada, and finally the US. Dad had a younger sister, Gladys. I know of one great-aunt, Molly.

Look in ‘search all member trees’
If anyone has the names in a GR tree, send a contact message and hope for a response

Have you tried researching?

Looks like Henry married in Israel……to Julia Rashid

Henry’s MOTHER was Allured (Martha). Married in 1878

Henry had 3 siblings listed on 1901 census, Edith, Arthur and Annie

The family had moved to Essex by 1911

Welcome to the boards, Diana -

You say you're "looking for" relatives, and have posted on the "Find Living Relatives" board. Are you hoping to make contact with living relatives?

(Sounds like a silly question, I know, but sometimes people post here when they really mean they want to know about ancestors.)

It's almost certain that none of your relatives will see your query here.
You'll need to be proactive. As ErikaH says, search for names you know in "Search all member trees" - under "Search" at top right of this page - and contact the tree owner if you find any known relatives on anyone's tree.

Do you know if Gladys married? (Though I can't see any record of her apart from her birth.)

Erika/Maddie - wow! Thanks so much for this information. This is a goldmine! I'll also post for living relatives - I lost touch with so many and would love to reconnect.

What's the best way to search for living relatives? And does it only apply to those in the UK? I know some relatives emigrated to Australia and possibly South Africa, but the trail has grown cold. I contacted two members relating to Henry Kemp but never got a reply.

My aunt Gladys married Jabra Nehme in Haifa, but I don't have much information about that. I think he died in 1969. My aunt died around 2017-18. She had four sons - Emile, Andrew, Alex, and Willilam. Alex died in 2006.
