Mallorca must have a phone directory! I'd contact the Spanish Embassy and ask them. nell

The Spanish telephone directory is online - Paginas Blancas. If you want me to check, send me a message with her name. I don´t know if you can do it without the name of the town, but I´ll give it a try. Pam

Hi Sylvia, Have your tried www.infobel(.)com this lists the telephone directories from abroad. Is this her maiden name or married name? Also ask Joan Allan from www.myfolks.co.uk I know she had contact in places like America would not surprise me is she had someone in Spain ;0) Good Luck with your search. Sheila

Even though she applied for a residence permit, I don´t think that the Spanish authorities would give out that information to the public. Why not trying asking the vicar of the church in Palma if it is possible to put a notice on a notice board. Someone might recognize the name. anglicanpalma(@)terra(.)es remove () Pam
