Yes I have they found my cousin who we had lost contract with.He was in Ireland.And it was before my mother died,and as he lived with us for a while when young.It made my mother very happy.We still write and send Christmas cards.And have sent what I have found out with his side of the family.My boss is in the Sally Army ,she got me the address. If I remeber they do ask for a donation. Good luck Daphne

Dawn his brother was in New Zealand .We did know he and his family had gone there.We were able to get to know him again too.And I know there is Army there. My mother was so pleased to know of them again before she died.Their mother and father my uncle died young.So their grandmother and my father and mother bourght them up.But one at a time ,2 boys were a handfull.It is sad when you lose touch.They were both at my wedding 36 yrs ago.Brain the one they found was married again.Some one on here found his daug and family.But cannot find what happen to is son. Hope you have good news one day Daphne
