Heh, yes, eh? If you're looking for her grandparents -- can you tell us who her parents are?? or has Jonesey answered that question ;)

But since you're talking about someone who is apparently now living and giving us details of her life, can you tell us your relationship with her, and whether she has consented to those details being posted on the internet?

So why are you looking for her grandparents when you hav'nt told us who her parents were? or do you just want to skip a generation to make it more difficult for anyone trying to help you?

Ditto to jax.

Andrew, how do you imagine that someone would find the identity of a person's grandparents without knowing who the person's parent(s) was/were?? Telepathy?

Someone's grandparents are that person's parent's parents. Without knowing who the interim generation was, we have that old missing link.

I'm Janey Canuck, mother's surname Hill. Now, who were my grandparents? Any guesses?

I asked for more information conditional on you confirming you had consent, obviously: that was why I said "but". And assuming that it would be evident that nobody could find anybody's grandparents without knowing who the heck her parents were.
