american sites
 

Can anyone point me in the right direction to family history sites where I can post names of people I am trying trace.

Do you mean living people or deceased people, please?

I can trace some of the deceased and have names of the living but that is all. I would like to expand on the information I have.

What I mean is, would you be posting names of living people who you are trying to trace, or names of deceased people who you are trying to find out about?

deceased but if I get any contact it would probably lead to living family

There are surname and place message boards on Ancestry which you might want to try.

Thanks, kiterunner but I am not a member of ancestry

As far as I know, if you register for a free account, you can post on the message boards.
