I've used it a few times and most of the time somone replies. It's quite useful.


It gets updated every Monday, so your advert gets a whole week on teletext.

A lot of the posts that i have read recently dont actually say what they are looking for, just a list of names & possible birth dates, unless thats just how I read them but saying that 50 words isnt a lot

Celia how many years has the family tree been on ch4?

I watch this regularly and have been able to help some people and made very good friends with some of them.  I do agree though, a lot of the info is very scant and ,therefore,  it is almost impossible to try and help them unless they can be contacted to find out more.

  I did find a relative of my husbands through putting a message on there.  It's been going for quite sometime but cant remember exactly.
