I know that there are a number of people, (like myself), that try to help find lost relatives, posted on the 'Trying to Find' board, (hopefully still living). I have noticed that less than a third of members take the trouble to reply to me. If you receive help in this way, please be courteous enough to acknowledge our efforts - a simple 'thank you' doesn't hurt, and it assures us that the message has been received.
