Hello Alice and [TS_welcome]
It would help if you could tell us more about this family and what information you already have. For instance, do you already have them in all available censuses? Do you have their birth, marriage and death certificates?
If there are any particular descendants you are having trouble tracking, please tell us what you are looking for and we will give it a good try.

As long as it is within the cutoff dates found in the Essential Reading section of this board, then we can help: viewtopic.php?f=14&t=6601

All the best,
Sarah
