Many thanks regading 'long shot'-Fri.20 May.If i could extract a bit more knowledge from you i would be so gateful.I do have my fathers birth cert.(Charles Douglas Gill. No. 183)born I.O.M.,but searches for his parents produce nothing(Daniel Douglas Gill m Veronica Isabel Fitzsimmons)on any of the search sites.We are sure they did get married.Becuse i wanted to trace his 3 sisters Joyce, Mildred and Brenda i feel thawrted in going Forward.i.e.no marriage record to track siblings. Feeding thier names on searches result in nothing. One day soon i hope to go Backwards in tracing my lovely dads family but my mother is 80 next month and i would love to give her some news on what happened to his sisters. I am very lost at the moment and do apologize for my lack of knowledge any advise would be grateful
