That's kinda thrilling. Maybe you're talking to her as I type! If not: dial that phone. Now! I'll bet that it's the best Christmas present either of you gets this year.

Lisa -- go to Search Trees (one of the buttons up at the top) and search for

Ruth Wyer
born 1973

and you'll find a Janice who has that Ruth Wyer in her tree -- just click on Janice's name and send her a message.

Then search for

Ruth Hackett
born 1973

and you'll find a Ruth who has that Ruth Hackett in her tree -- click, send message.


No point in messing around with electoral rolls if the people you're looking for are right here!

Lisa, go over on the Records Office and ask someone to do an electoral roll look up for her

Janice is also the one who had Ruth Wyer; apparently she has her by both names. This could all be a big circle for Lisa ...

Lew! Don't post people's addresses and phone numbers on the internet! That's the one thing PMs are good for.

Why didn't I find that?? I think I messed up and looked for Lisa instead of Ruth. Duh.

Here's an excellent coincidence.

A GR member named Ruth has Ruth Hackett born 1973 in Oldswinford in her tree. Could it be?

(And has one of those boys, the only one I checked for, too.)

Lisa -- was that her birth name, and would she have been born in 1973?

If you search trees here at GR, you will find a member with Ruth Wyer born 1973 at "Mary Stevens Nursing Home Oldswinford". If you contact that person, she may know something. She might be searching for her too, of course.

Can't you reply to the message she sent you? If she's no longer a member, for example, you could try sending a message to the management through the "contact us" link at the bottom and asking whether they can help you by forwarding a message to the email address they had for her. It would be nice to think they would do that for members.
