Phoenix I understand how knowing what someone was known as may make them seem real but knowing someone was called Bill will not help you trace their family.
When I started Mum would talk about Uncle Jack or Uncle John etc. I did some research and went back to her saying I can't work out where your Uncle's fit into this family. She'd have a look and say that Martin there, he was Uncle Jack married to ... There was no relation to their name.
Of all the uncles she talked about only one had a name that was similar to their actual name.
