There's another very similar site to the Missing You (UK) message board service one that you have mentioned. Its a more international website so the people searches should show up better in foreign search engine results:-

Hi Redrodger. How strange - I just tried the People Trace link (ie http://wikiworldbook.com/trace-lost-friends-and-relatives) and it works fine for me. Hmm. If its happened to you on another link as well, might it be a issue with your browser?

My sister and I were separated as Children.  She found me over 30 years ago but then I lost track again.  Our link, relatives in Canada, have certainly died.  She no longer lives at the last address.  I have tried googling possible names.  She could use any of four known surnames and may have remarried.  I have googled known names and end up in other centuries.  Of the advice you have given, what would be the best way to proceed?

Personally I would try first name and last known address. There may be better ideas forthcoming.

And at what sites would you go and do this?  Letters to that address have long been returned.

Another possibility which has worked for me in the UK. Find the name of the local newspaper covering the area where they lived. Letter to the editor telling him of your search and asking his help. If they are like newspapers in the UK will be very pleased to help.
