i would like to thank all the people who contacted me regarding my cousins aunty margaret jack.unfortunately after writing to the records department of the d.h.s.s. with her date of birth and a forwarding letter for her i was told she had married and given her married name to try and find relatives.i purchased a marriage certificate and death certificate,and went to the address on the death certificate to no avail .i knocked on doors and found a friend of margarets daughters.who had a phone number.they were contacted the same day by her and given my number.my cousin has now been reunited with 2 cousins he knew as a child and two he had never seen plus all their families so september 11th now has a happy memory for him and instead of them only knowing him from a photo they have a future together.i found them 4 days before his arrival from new york ,thanks to the d.h.s.s. being so supportive and being prepared to forward a letter but not allowed to give out addresses just her married name.i had new leads.so maybe oother people can try this way.thanks again to everyone and good luck in your own searches. gwendoline denise jabbar nee harvey
