Relatives

How to connect with relatives and how we record family relationships.

Relatives living in different towns and countries keep the family connected. This page explains how relationships are recorded and how to get in touch if you think we are related.

  • Tell us the names of your parents and grandparents, and the village or town they came from.
  • If you have documents or photographs, say so and we will explain how to share copies.
  • We will reply by email, and we will never publish details of living relatives without their agreement.
