Flick, jeanette mistakenly added her query to my stickied post at top of board...therefore I advised her it would be better to post her own thread where it would be seen.

I have sent a couple of 'possibles' from 192 and advised jeanette she can get credits to view the addresses.

Very good advice re not ringing up.

I'd personally send a letter saying who you are and that you think there might be a family connection through (name of mother) , but not be too specific.

One thing you must not do is post more than once about the same person, and you have obviously done so..........

If you aren't happy using a computer, go to your nearest main public library, and look for his name in the phone book.

But, please don't just ring up if you find anything....................he may have family who are unaware of your existence
