I made mine available through my mother, who is also involved, she sends her copy and mine to who ever wants it, Boys usually use my copy for some reason, girls use my mothers.... I don't understand it myself. It is however a pain when someone has what you need and won't share, but sometimes people send you lineages of people you never heard of and who you never wanted to hear about.....

If your Dad's uncle had children, one of them would no doubt have info that your great uncle had....I've found LOTS of info by getting in touch with before unknown, cousins. Most have been quite helpful, especially when you offer to pay for any copies, and/or postage.

Plenty of family trees are available on-line. Genealogy is one of the biggest uses of the Internet. Used to be in the top three, along with day-trading and porn, don't know where it stacks up now. If you know the name of a grandparent or greatgrandparent, just google that name, see what turns up. You may be surprised. Also, it's very easy to get as far back as 1850 using the census, before 1850 the census isn't very helpful. You could probably access the census online for free at your local library. But when I see nobility being claimed, I am always skeptical. I mean, if we had noble blood, why would it be a secret? I come from a long line of farmers, shopkeepers, and the occasional doctor.
