Hello Dawn, Welcome to WikiTree

Here is a link to the Milner profiles on WikiTree.  http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Milner   There are over 800 to look at.

I found that list by using 'Find' and then Surnames.   You can use "Find" and the People Search to look for specific people.

You made a really good beginning by asking a question on G2G, there are many people here who will help you.

Another free site is FamilySearch.com.  There are millions of records there and it is easy to search the huge data bases.

Please come back to G2G with more questions.   I hope I have helped a bit with your search.

Answer 5

Hi Dawn it's me Charlotte. So I have a ancestory account that you are more then welcome to take information from. However, it's a total work in progress that I will probably be working on till the end of time. I do not know much about the Milner's as I have learned not a lot of the children are in the same boat.. I do have a few pictures that I have gotten from people along the way that I will be adding as I go. I put the Milner family stuff away to work on my Allen side of the family but just today started digging in again. So make sure you check back once in a while for any new information.
