Find Ancestors

As a long shot....have you tried putting his birth name into Search at top left hand of page ?

It really is pretty hopeless expecting that someone is just going to pass by and see this message and be the person you are looking for.


There are allegedly over 10 million members of GR

That number has accrued snce GR was first founded 9 or 10 years ago

No member is ever removed from the site ........... so all numbers are still active, but the people with those numbers probably are not.


I believe that there might well be less than 1 million active members .... and by that I mean members who pay attention to emails sent by GR


Of that 1 million, an unknown number are free members which means they can put up their tree, received Hot Matches, and read these boards .......... but they cannot respond on the threads. Nor can they initiate a pm

I believe that well over half the 1 million are free members


Of the members, probably only a few hundred have ever found their way to these community boards.




In short ................................... what you get on this TTF board is NOT your relation appearing, but people like myself ...... another member with a little more expertise in searching and subscriptions in other sites that we are willing to use to help find information.


I refuse to help people looking for living relations, largely because I live in another country and do not now know the UK system for finding adoptees etc.


Your best bet on GR is to put your half-brother's name in the Search Trees facility above, and see if anyone has his name in their tree.



Another option is to go over to GR's parent site, Friends Reunited (tab above), register (it's free), and then search that site for his name.


FR has message boards, hundreds of them, with thousands of threads, and again I think that the chance of your brother just passing by and seeing a thread is pretty slim over there as well. But try the name search.

If you are a man and you are 49, born on 19th February 1961, could you be my half-brother? You were born at Honeypot Lane Nursing Home, Harrow, Middx, and adopted a few months afterwards. Our Mum has always told our sister and me about you, and we are registered on the Adoption Contact Register at the General Records Office and also with NORCAP, in the hope of finding you one day. I have also put your birth name on our family tree on here.
