Mark have you searched family trees here?

up at the top, under search, select search all trees

there is a Graham born in the right place a little earlier with himself in his tree in case you think that is a possibility

also you seem to have yourself in several trees with several different accounts (do you know the other person who has you in their tree?)

do be sure that you have an up to date email address on every account you have just in case someone tries to contact you, so you will receive notification

if could even be worth checking all of those accounts to make sure you have not missed any messages in the past

Joonie has explained how to search the trees above Mark

You may be new to the site now, but at some stage you opened three other accounts in your name

thank you for the private message Mark (Mark has explained the reason for his search which is a little more urgent than the usual reasons, needing family medical history)


it really does seem that you have other accounts here

hover your mouse over Search in the upper right
click on Search all member trees

search for your name with your year of birth

one other person has you in their tree, but you seem to have a total of four trees of your own

you might want to just delete old accounts

to sign in to them I think you can do it by signing out of this one and entering the email address you think you would have used to sign up for a different account

then you can check your message inbox to be sure you haven't missed anything

and then if the tree is no use to you, if you are happy with the one you have now, just delete the account

I mention this only because if someone ever does try to contact you here you want to be sure you get the notification

(also be sure to click Watch This at the top of this thread to get notice of any replies)


unfortunately there were 4 people named Graham Thomas born even in Pontypridd district 1952-1959 and others slightly earlier and later and none seems to be in anyone's tree here

and you likely do not know a middle initial, if he had one

Do you have an address for him 1979? If so, you could look at old electoral rolls to see if he had a middle initial.
