Worth a shot...you never know a member of the family may have taken over the house or the new owner may know a name of the person who sold it (ie a living relative) I'd give it a go. Sheila x

I have been looking for my great aunt who emigrated to the USA int eh 50s to 70s. I have found a person I think is her on the US ssdi. All the details seem to match hers. Unfortunatly she died in 1991. I have her last recorded address. What Im wondering is, is it worth writing to this address on the off chance one of her relatives may still live there? After 13 years it seems a real long shot.
