The point being, if you are looking for living people, they may not want to be found.

Where & what feels like a brick wall?

Hi Anita,
Sometimes it is as you are about to give up that something unexpected turns up. Try the boards again and someone may be able to help. One of the simplest things to do is Google everything and everyone you know and keep on searching through all the hits that are thrown up and you never know what or who you may find.
Good luck with your research.
Sorcha

What response did you get on the Find Living Relatives board.

Have you used Search Trees on this site?

We all get frustrated at times.
Have you asked for search help on here at all. Someone may be able to help.

Researching:
More in hope than expectation!
