A result, of a sort....

On her profile there was no mention of any tree, but just a note saying her research interested were Rogers from West Brom and Simpkins from England.

On a whim I searched marriages of Rogers to Simpkins and then looked at the only one in West Bromwich.

Further prodding showed about half a dozen trees with OH's grandmother attached to a father of the right name and approx. age, but from West Bromwich and definitely not her father! They had bumped off this George Rogers using OH's great-grandfather's death details which had obviously been pulled from OH's tree (I didn't know it was indexed yet). One of these trees had a photo of the tree owner I was looking for, but this tree uses her real name.


At least she isn't on OH's DNA lists, as they are probably not related at all!
