Reggie, No this was a Family History site, where my paternal family came from.

Yes Peter I do the same.

Of course he may be away, so will just hold my breath and wait.

Anyway thank you for all your comments.

I put some names on this site a few years ago, but never had any response.

However, if someone contacts me, no matter where they found me, I do try to responds within a week, even if it is only to say we don't appear to have a connection.

How long ago did you contact them? They might be looking through their piles of papers (I have so much myself, never find what I want when I want it) before they reply.

Perhaps you could contact the FHS to which they belong/ed and ask what the situation is.

Maybe they have moved, maybe they have forgotten they even put their names on there and haven't updated their address.

Why do people put Names they are researching on FHS Name Searches, and when you have a match, and write and send them a SAE for reply, they do not bother to answer.
Why spend money on FHS and not bother to answer.
