Hi Thank you for your help on my last request. I am still trying to help my friend with her tree and she is looking to reconnect with some family.The information we know is that she was called

Margaret Whitehead born 1927 in Wakefield. She married someone whom my friend thinks was called Chez, whom she believes was a canadaian or American soldier.
They emirgrated in about 1948-1950, first to south america and then she believes to Canada. They had 2 children Veronica 1951 and Nicholas1954

Can anyone please point us in the right direction

Thanks for all your wonderful help

Can we assume that you have looked in 'search trees' on here?

Hi I have looked and just cant seem to find the right family. My friend just cant remember and hasnt got anyone to ask as a family member to her thought it best to throw all the family tree information out, including this information. I have thought that the children may have been bornin Canada as thats where the family ended up.

Thanks
