Hi Gemma,

What was your name at birth? What is your DOB? May I ask why you have never met your mum, were you adopted?

There's a Doreen on this site that has her in her tree. Have you contacted her?

I've had a pm from Gemma. The marriage you found for her mother is not the right one.

The mother was already married in 1980 before Gemma's birth. Gemma was adopted.

Don't want to go into too much detail on here as these people are still living (probably).

Kath,

Thanks I have already realised that. Do you think she may have married again and had more children?

I can send you the names of likely siblings if no one else has. Let me know.

This thread is about the family and mentions Brenda - it seems to be by the same person who has her in her tree.

http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards.asp?wci=thread&tk=921258

There is a post in the thread by someone else who also seems to be related.


Gemma, did you see the question? Do you know that person, and are you in touch?


Happy -- maybe you would delete the info about the marriage of the unrelated person who isn't aware her personal details have been posted here.

Probably an even better idea to contact Andrew through that other thread.

Gemma, would you reply in the thread here (as long as the info isn't of the personal kind)? That way people don't have to keep copying your messages into the thread.

Just click the purple Reply button at the top of the thread and the invisible box for adding a message will open.

Have found the email address of your half sibling born 1980. Will PM the details. She is also on this site.

So far it looks like you have half siblings born 1976, 1980 and 1986.

Rose,

I have found the 1980 and 1986 births for Gemma. Is the 1976 birth in her maiden name and what area? Please send me a pm.
