	At present, no member of GenesReunited is offering these lookups. (The subscriptions are expensive.) Those who did in the past had lookup threads in which they specified that no personal information (e.g. names and locations) should be posted in the thread; requests should be made by private message. It isn't appropriate to post the names and locations of living people on the boards. Here is a trick for searching the electoral roll on line. Use these search terms at google: site:www.192.com "person's name" putting the name in quotation marks like that, in the form "Jane Q Smith". The 192.com results will show a city, county and partial postcode, if there is a listing. That information can be compared to search results at BT online http://www.thephonebook.bt.com/publisha.content/en/search/residential/search.publisha or, of course, BT online can be searched directly. The comparison can then be done in reverse: a postcode associated with a listing (usually surname with first initial) can be used to search at 192.com for the surname with that postcode, to see the full name.
