The problem is you have to have someone with the surname you are searching for in your own tree to add to that board. The only way you can do it really is invent an ancestor/rellie with the surname and then you will be able to click on that in your list and go to the trying to find.

I have been approached to try and help find adoptees/birth families and want to add them to the 'Trying to find' section. Am I thick in not being able to do this? I don't know where to go next to enable me to help my searchers. Please, guidance on how to do this will be much appreciated.
