Adeleb   0 #1 Posted February 9, 2021 I'm looking for any relatives in South Yorkshire. I'm on 23&me and just joined ancestry. Are there any groups for people in the Sheffield area to help trace family in the area? Thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Adeleb   0 #4 Posted February 9, 2021 Hi Elaine. All of the above really. My dad was an only child but his mum (my nan) was one of 8 or 9 I believe. I remember some of their Christian names but don't recollect any surnames. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Genealogy / family history searches might also turn something up. Try FreeBMD, put in your dad's name (or your nan's) and the area / approximate dates and see what comes up. You can look for births or marriages or deaths etc. You can even search for births of children to parents and it is free.
