Post by: kindu on Monday 23 December 19 04:59 GMT (UK)
Hi all, I am trying to find the parents of a Lance Richard Smith, b-1939 New Zealand? d-1988 New Zealand, I cant seem to find anything on his family, I did find him and his wife in the Electoral Roles, but that seems to be it.

TIA

Terry

Hi Terry,

You could try contacting the Funeral Directors, to see what information they hold for the parents, if they are on the death certificate and also if there was a death notice in the paper, which should give family names.

Hi Terry,

Is that you that has a tree on Ancestry with "No publicly available family members"?  No parents names mentioned but there are two private members of the family.

Cheers

I do have a tree (or 7) on Ancestry but I don't know what the "No publicly available family members mean

I have never come across it before, I guess instead of making their tree private, they have made it public but have made people aware that the information they want, they need to get in touch with the tree owner.

I stand to be corrected.
