    Obituaries (often), death certificates and birth records will usually name the parents. marriage records as well.

      Don't forget census records. For example, if you know in 1990 that the child was 8 yrs old and lived in Las Vegas NV, you have a good base to find the child and their parents in a census record from 1990.

      Otherwise, absent such additional linking information from other sources, it seems that trying to sort/search through what sparse information you may currently have in Reunion is akin to guessing.

        In the People list on the right, type a comma then the first name. Example: If you enter ",Robert" you will get the People list to narrow down to everyone who has a first or middle name of Robert.

          Ha! It would seem I completely misunderstood the question
