Nothing personal but not in your family. If you click on the Board Information button, above right on this screen, then you will see the board administrator's email address and that is me. Apart from that I do the Court FHS website www.courtgen.com and newsletter. I find any research I do for members or non members of the Court FHS generally increases my knowledge which is why I am board administrator.

Using Ancestry it is possible to find out if people were alive up to 2 years ago (deaths are not released by the govt for 2 years to avoid illegal activities). It is possible to build up families but to find and contact living relatives one has to use websites that have current electoral roles or phone numbers which can get a bit expensive. Other facilities are organisations like the Salvation Army. For this you will need to do your research first and then approach your nearest SA branch, they will do nothing unless they have a person in front of them making the request. The other method is find out where the family is likely to be living and do a local newspaper search and email the local newspaper, they like human interest and pictures.

Keep me updated with what you have either through the message board or via my email address and I will let you have what I can find.

Some where in NZ you have the family of the 1927 Wimbledon Junior Tennis champion, Richard A Court, and his son was an NZ chess champion.
