Long lost Friends ???
« on: Thursday 24 January 08 20:56 GMT (UK) »

I've been trying over the last few months on and off trying to find old friends online.

I've tried the Genes Site without any joy.

Basically I'm looking for old street friends of Victoria Street, West Bromwich of the late 50's.

Any clues of how to start, how or where to look if and where they might be today.

Thanks

Thanks

But, Yes I have tried them without success.

They don't have a community page as they do in the Genes where you can place a note where you are searching for friends/info, like you do searching for Family members.

Hi telboy,

You can do a living person search on findmypast but there is a fee for it - a long shot perhaps but may be worth a try.
