How do I contact someone who posted several years ago?
« on: Friday 29 January 21 13:04 GMT (UK) »
Hi,
I found this site a couple of weeks ago when I started researching my family history. Amazingly I almost immediately discovered a post that appeared (almost certainly) to be referencing a search for my Grandmother. However, the downside was that the request was posted 8 years ago. I responded to the post about 10 days ago, but perhaps unsurprisingly there hasn't yet been any further response from the originator. I would very much like to make contact with the person who posted the request as we share a common ancestry. I'm not sure if that is possible using this site, could someone please advise.

Welcome to rootschat

Chico has not been on here for a few years but if their email is still current and they are set up to receive notifications then they should get notification that you have posted on their thread.
