Welcome to the boards Dollybrush.

It's unlikely that any relatives will just happen by this post. Try Search top right of this page, then search all member trees. Enter details you know and if any matches come up you can try to contact the person who has the same relative in their tree. Explain how you think you're related, don't use the standard GR "please open your tree". Replies are not guaranteed, people may no longer be members, but Gr do not remove trees.
