Hi,
I am trying to track down my fiancée's relatives from her fathers side of the family.
Her dad dies when she was 10 and due to family circumstances her mum didnt keep in contact with her dead husbands large family.
My fiancée has had a difficult life due to the loss of her father and has always wanted to find her uncles, aunts and cousins from her fathers side but it is difficult as her Dad was from a large Irish family that moved to London, I believe his family could be spread out across England, Ireland and America. Their family name is Sexton which is also a well known Irish family name.
I am struggling where to start really. especially as there are no other names to go off except her fathers name, his birth and death records.
I have looked at family tree websites, ancestry etc but dont want to pay a subscription as I dont know if these would help my circumstances as I'm not trying to look back over 100 years etc.
Has anyone got any advice?
thanks
