Hi all,

We are currently producing the second series of Family Finders - if you would like to feature, please do get in touch!

Have you recently been reunited with a family member or are you about to meet for the first time in years?   

A brand-new documentary series is looking to hear from people who have lost touch with loved ones, and have managed to track them down, either independently or with the help of specialist agencies.   Each programme will follow the process and detective work used by families and agencies as they hunt for lost relatives, and the cameras will be there to capture the moment as the two sides are reunited or meet each other for the very first time.

If your hard work and dedication to unlocking your family secrets is finally paying off, get in touch!

Call 01273224804 or send a private message via RootsChat to share your story

My apologies folks - for some reason (best known only to me - perhaps  :-\) I never responded to the queries relating to my statement that I was pleased to have originated from a "normal" family - way back in June.  :o :o

On reflection, perhaps I came from an "abnormal" family by today's standards, at least on my side  :-*:

I've been married to same man for more than 50 years.
My parents were married for 37 years, and only separated by my mother's death
My father's parents were married for nearly 50 years, separated by my grandfather's death
My mother's parents were only married for 9 years - he was killed in WW1, and my grandmother never re-married.

OH's side is slight different in that his parents divorced, and his mother was the result of a WW1 liaison.


Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!
If you don't ask the question, you won't get an answer.
He/she who never made a mistake, never made anything.
