Which is the best site to find my nearest relatives...

[askyourgran]

I've had reasonable success with my relatives from 1600/1800 but I am stuck trying to find my fathers' brothers and sisters and their families. I know very little about them. Except that there was nine of them including my father, all deceased now: born between 1899 and 1918.

[TWR]

Friends Unite.

I think TWR meant Friends Reunited.

[wiltsman]

Sorry ........ I think that should be Genes Reunited

[askyourgran]

Thank you I'll have a look at those, not had much success with findmypast, and it took ages to register on that site. I thought it would be easier to find the latest ones. Can't even find my Mum.

If you want to give your fathers name, DOB, and where born I'll see what I can do.....................

[askyourgran]

Hi Craft, just looked at this again by chance. My Dad's name is Frederick Charles Litherland b 18 September 19 at 18 Bramley Leeds. Known as Charlie. Grandad is Ernest David Litherland b 1875 Leeds Grandma Harriet Harrison b 1879 Leeds. He is the youngest of 9 children. I have their names and dob's but can't find them.

^^That dob should read 1918, my keyboard is acting up, missing letters and jumping about.

[askyourgran]

Bless you dotty, that is great. I couldn't find them. I've met one or two cousins recently but don't know who their parents are. Got to find the marriages next. Will it be possible to find living relatives eg. cousins on-line?
Thanks for that dotty.
