Looking for help finding someone.
« on: Monday 20 May 24 23:45 BST (UK) »
Hello All,

I'm taking a shot here as I have next to no information.
I have been doing Ancestry for a few years. I also recently opened an account on myheritage.com.
as I knew there were a lot of Greenslades on that site and I am related to them.

My #1 DNA match is a woman called Dorothy Holland. All the information available is that she is from the United Kingdom. She created her account on 7/24/2017 and last signed on, on 11/21/2017.
I tried reaching out to her but no answer.

My #2 match is a woman from the Greenslade family who died in 2021 at 108 (perfectly healthy I'm told.) So, I am assuming something happened to Dorothy thinking she was probably elderly.

As I said, all of my significant DNA matches with Dorothy are Greenslades and no one has a clue who Dorothy is.

I have tried searching on 3 web sites and nothing.

Does anyone have any ideas? There is a long story with my wanting to know this.
I believe I told it in my last post a few months ago but it involves the true identity of my Grandfather.

Greatly appreciate any help or ideas.

There is no GRO online death entry in 2021 for a female Greenslade born 1913 so I am assuming she died under a different surname

As you have no birthyear details for DH she may still be alive in which case no details can be given as Rootschat has a strict no living persons policy to protect peoples privacy

Do you have any clues as to whereabouts she lived in the UK?  There are 27 deaths for that name between 2017-2021 and 16 of them were born between 1919 -1930
