Member Since: January 2003 Posts: 51 Send Message	I am hoping someone will be able to help. In my fathers papers when he passed away was part of a family tree. My father was Charles William Fredrick Orum His father was Charles who had brothers Edwin and Ronald and sister Evelyn There father was Ernest I have looked on various site's and found nothing. I have been left names but no dates. As far as I know they were in the Bristol area. I would be very greatful for any information. Thanks for your time in advance. sue

	Hi Susan To do it yourself you really need Ancestry .I would estimate it could take some time. However many members love helping so you can ask with a new request at each stage.Best done on records board. Start with what you know and work back as far as you can and then work forward. You may be lucky and find other members researching the same family Jim
