Re: can not get anywhere researching one family ancestor

Thank you jonwarrn
We have been unable to trace Thelma after she left home.
My wife has 5 older brothers and sisters, of which 3 have passed on.
None of the older ones had anything to tell us about Thelma.
Costas brought up all 6 of them on his own, he was a top chef and a really lovely man
