Have sent you a message with a possible 2013 address + 2014-15 one for her brother. Also, see if she is on Facebook and other social media sites.

Rather than ask to view someones tree, its better to just write a message explaining who you are and who you are looking for.

Check your Sent Message box - if there is still an envelope icon next to your message, she hasn't accessed it..

Genes is member moderated - the staff tend only to get involved with the boards if a member reports a post as breaking the T&C.

When you joined GR, you were only asked for an email address - if a member changes theirs but doesn't update their GR account, GR has no way of getting in contact.

Hi I did click on her name and sent a message and also one for her to open her tree if she is agreeable, but nothing has come back. I only found her posting when I curiously googled Keith's name and lo and behold I was astonished to find Joanna looking for him. I have so much to tell her but, from memory, I believe that post was back in 2007. If she is not active on here now, is there any way the moderators can contact her?

Hello Elaine.
If you click on Joanna`s name, you can send her a message that way if she is still an active member on here.

I found an old post from a Joanna Beattie looking for Keith A Beattie, the natural son of Gladys & Robert Beattie, whom she believed was adopted and brought up in Saffron Walden.

Keith was adopted by my cousin and was indeed brought up in a village near Saffron Walden. I have an awful lot to tell Joanna and need to get in touch urgently. Does anyone know how I can do so? I assume after all this time she might not be on GR any longer. Anybody know what I can do?
