Hi Karen Maybe the best idea for you is to join a Family History Society. You could trace back for yourself from your parents' names. If you know your grandparents' full names, you would do even better. Unfortunately you cannot find everything on e-mail or internet. There is a fair amount of foot-slogging to be done for yourself. I just about have square eyes from looking through microfiche, but the information available on them is phenomenal!!!!! Regards Irene Rees Gold Coast
