Find Ancestors

Hi Kathryn,
Thanks for the tip,Not too good at doing all this and appreciate all the help I am given. THanks again.
Regards Mary

Kathryn - that's the way I did it. No surname.

Just reading your thread on the McCocks - HUGE breakthrough.

Ozi.

Just butting in to say -- if I were searching for Gee, I'd try to do it with no surname at all if possible, i.e. if you have

given name
place of residence
place and date of birth
parents' given names

and then scan the results list looking for anything that could conceivably have started out as Gee.

(Because it's only 3 letters, the wild card function can't really be used.)

Because it's a thing of wonder what Ancestry can do with that name. One that I found in helping out on another Gee case was Gus. And Gee/Gees seems to be interchangeable. And just look what you've all found here. ;)

Thank you.
Regards Mary

Hi DIane,
Thanks for the baptism of John Gee. I will have a look for census with father Thomas .
Regards Mary

Unfortunately none of the censuses for John & Sarah, then Sarah as a widow give a clue as to parents.

There is just no sign of a John Gee other than the one Roy found.
