	You were given the link to the adoption contact register four years ago...........did you follow-up on it? If anyone on here was connected, and interested in making contact, one would have thought you would have heard from them at some stage during the last four years

	Not all members have their tree on this site so to say 'no-one else on here is connected' is nonsense.

Member Since: May 2006 Posts: 7,002 Send Message	All the advice given in your two previous requests ( nudged up) remain the same. The law on allowing people to trace an adoptive name has not changed.
