Once as much has been done to contact people as we can do, we can do another list to show which names have produced a response from PMs or hot matches. Give it a couple of days maybe.

Of the messages I've sent out (4 PMs about 3 names in trees), 3 out of 4 haven't been opened. :(

suggested message to potential relatives

Dear

You are receiving this message as one of your relatives in your tree has come up as a match with a victim (or relative of) of the WW2 Bethnal Green Tube Disaster which happened on 3 March 1943.

There is an effort underway, by the organizers of the memorial, to contact living relatives of people who died in the 1943 Bethnal Green Tube Disaster.

Please refer to the website below:

http://www.stairwaytoheavenmemorial.org/

Your relative is one of the people for whom there is no family known to the memorial organizers. The entry for Civilian War Dead can be found at the Commonwealth War Graves Commission site www.CWGC.org
(Note: married women are listed under their married name)

The discussion here at GenesReunited is in this thread on the discussion boards:

http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards.asp?wci=thread&tk=1134367

If you have a paid subscription to GenesReunited you can post in that thread and we would all be delighted to see what you can tell. If not, I would be happy to pass on any info you send by posting it there.

Please send a personal message via the thread shown above to the member shown as “Bethnal Green Tube Disaster 1943” so that you can view the TREE that we have created detailing the victims and relatives that we have been able to identify. Please have a look at the tree and let us know if this is your relative. We can then pass on your details to the memorial organizer, Anna.

Many thanks and regards

# 7 is the important one for me. ;)

Post a message here *whether or not* you find a match in a GR tree, so that I can update the list on page 1, and no one duplicates.

Please do send a message to the tree owners if you find a match. There are undoubtedly lots of people who don't receive / read Hot Match messages from GR.

The only thing I would add to Victoria's revised version of the model message is that it would be wise to name the victim in question.

I just sent a PM to someone with the brother of the mother of a victim with a completely different surname in her tree. I explained how I'd determined the connection, because if the tree owner didn't know of her person's sister's marriage and children, it would have been very confusing. ;)
