Age at death (estimated): 78
Registration district: Tameside

There is one person of that name on 192.com but if it is him or not I couldnt tell.But with the same name must surely be related somehow?

Go here for an Electoral Roll lookup.

http://www.genesreunited.co.za/boards.asp?wci=thread&tk=1231191

And click on the name WayneTracey and send her a message with the details of the person you are looking for.
Please dont post the details on her thread but send them privately..

Good luck

That must have been our Cynthia. ;)

Just a tip about Fanny's post -- if you are signed in to the UK website here, use this link to reach Tracey's thread for an electoral roll lookup:

http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards.asp?wci=thread&tk=1231191

-- .co.uk instead of .co.za. Just look in the white address line at the top of your monitor to check where you are. And you can also just change the 1243988 at the end of it to 1231191, and hit Enter, and then click on Tracey's name to send her a message.

Best wishes.

Theo has messaged me and i have given her some info.

The gentleman found i have doubts about as Theo is insistant her father was born in 1932, this other person was born in 1968.

I have given Theo the details anyhow incase there has been a mix up with dates.

However i have found a possible sibling to the 1968 Andreas found, so i shall go down that road and see what i can establish.

As I said Tracey.

But with the same name must surely be related somehow?

Only one way for Theo to find out.

But keep up the good work Trace..

Well, FBG, i have noticed that there was a Sozos Minas born in the 1990's, they've got to be getting these usual names from somewhere!

I'm not entirely sure where the name comes from, it could be italian say and all these names are familiar back home, and completely unrelated....Grrrr
