Finding long lost cousin

[mollykins]

Me and my cousins Niamh who both want to do marine sciences are looking for another distant cousin who also wants to do something similar.

But there's noone left in the family that knows both sides so it's incredibly diffilcult to find them. They're my great nans cousins great great grandson (don't ask me to put the apostrophes in that) but we're pretty sure that they're in the year below me.

We know that it's a male, probably in year eleven, and that he goes to a grammar school (or somewhere else for intelligent people) somewhere in the midlands, but that's about it, apart from the name of our common ancestor.

Is this a hopeless cause or is there a way of finding him?

In slight hope of finding him, Niamh has posted a message on a student forum that is mainly used by students of higher ability but he might not go on there, and we can't think of anything else, as there's noone else in our family that knows anyone else in this other persons . . .

Dotty, mum's on genes reunited but we have so little info even she's struggling to find anyone.

[dotty.]

if his parents married before 2005 and he was born before 2005 i can find him and then you'll know who he is and i can find where he lives too, but you'd need to know at least a common ancestor, your nan maybe, or great nan

[dotty.]

do you mean the surname was Smart?

[dotty.]

oh so give me the name of the common ancestor. and where they lived (town)

[ummmm]
