Find Ancestors

Hi Michael, I have emailed you. good luck.

Barbara,
very many thanks for your research , I regret that I have been very lazy during the summer months.
Can you please help find my father's brothers and sisters, and who they were married to and if they have died.
I believe my grandmother died in dorset, had they all moved to that area?
Do his brothers and sisters have any siblings and where do they live now?
I cannot find any up todate information regarding this part of my father's family?
Mike

Hi Michael,
Could you please leave a bit of feedback to let us know if we are on the "right Track" for your Travis family ?

I have also just done a "Search Trees" and it seems you have all your Fathers siblings already on your tree ?
All the best
Barbara
