Aiysha

The thing to do is to find the name of one of the children born to Sophia, ie your family members parent ......... then buy that birth certificate.

The certificate will give you the full name of the father, and of the mother, as well as the mother's maiden name

Problem solved, all for £7

We can help you find that birth registration if you want ..................... but the actual information on the certificate is not available anywhere on the internet, so we all do have buy certificates.
