Link: Contact The Living in the Area of Portsmouth
« on: Thursday 03 March 05 11:59 GMT (UK) »
"The News" an evening paper covering Portsmouth and surrounding areas publishes a "Where are they now?" column every Thursday.

http://www.portsmouthtoday.co.uk

You'll find the link to "Where are they now" if you click on "Community".

Let me know how you get on!

 :) Nice 'Heads Up', Wendi.

It seems to need a search now though. Perhaps it only appears on their Community section around the day they show it?

 However ~ If I'm allowed to reproduce this here? ~ I found the full contact details:

" GET IN TOUCH:

This is a FREE service. Send us full details of who you're searching for plus of course your full details so people can get in touch.

Send it to letters[at]thenews.co.uk and write Where are they now? in the subject line. If you have no web access you can also ring 'inputters' on (023) 9266 4488 xtn 2412, Mon-Wed 10am-2pm.

 And of course you can write to us at: Where Are They Now?, Editorial, The News, The News Centre, Hilsea, Portsmouth, Hants PO2 9SX. Tell us if there is any part of your address (e-mail/phone number) you do not want printed.

Please bear in mind that because of the volume of mail there may be a slight delay between your request being received and appearing in print. "


 I checked out a couple of their 'pages' Brilliant! It's rather like an unstrictured forum board. They really don't seem to mind who ye looking for, or why. And they let ye leave a full, postal address. Or an e mail. Even just a phone number.

GAITES (Alverstoke / Bath Pre 1850)
CURTIS (Portsmouth & 1800's Berkshire).
BURGE (Dorset, Somerset and Hampshire)
HUNTLEY (Dorset, Hampshire, Sussex, 'Surroundings')
