The more information you can give about the people you mention, the more chance there is of someone else connecting with your family.
Dates and places of births, deaths and marriages all help to place families.
Professions also help.

Have you made any progress with this family, Carol?
I have made a few changes which will appear online around the end of the month, but have still to solve the mystery of the origins of this family.
