trying to trace roots

Hi Thomas,

You could try posting as much information as you can concerning your relatives...include dates of birth/marriage/death etc... The more information you post, the more likely it is that one of our volunteers will be able to assist or advise you.

Do you know much about the family's emigration? Dates, the reason why they left, who they may have travelled with etc.? Generally more information was given at the port of arrival rather than the port of departure. If you knew which city they arrived at (e.g. via Liverpool, New York etc.....), this could be a good place to find more information.

A few sites that might be of interest to you include:

I wish you the best of luck with your search.

Kind regards,
