	Maxwell I don't know of a national paper that offers such a service. However many local papers will print a letter from someone looking for a local connection....As it happens my local 'freebie' paper has one today. It will mean trying to find the local, paid for or free, paper for the specific area in London and giving it go. Good luck Chris

This proves very helpful to genealogists who are seeking to make contact with living relatives. My question is.. Do London newspapers have a similar free column and if so what is the email address?
