William, My family had lost touch with relatives in Wales. We knew really nothing about the family that my grandfather left behind when he came to Canada. A cousin of mine put an classified ad in the local paper asking relatives of Douglas Gill to contact her. She got a response. I don't see many alternatives since you don't know their last name or anything, other than hoping that they post to this or other similiar lists.
