Hi Belly, Welcome to the forum
A person should have an opinion on everything, It becomes tact whether you reveal that opinion or not.

Hi, welcome to the forum.
It's surprising what you can find by just googling the person's name or address, only yesterday I found the website of someone who lies on the very outer reaches of my family just by googling the address of my great great grandmother. But be careful, personal websites and family trees on the various genealogy sites often contain errors, it's always worth double checking others work.
Currently investigating the Hillmans of Sussex.
