As a newcomer, I initially felt quite upset reading this thread as I have been searching for possible living relatives as well as ancestors. If one has never experienced the loss of a "living relative" (my late mother spent her life thinking that she was an orphaned only child when she wasn't ) than I guess that it is not as easy to empathise with someone who has. In the short space of time that I have been using this site, I have come across some lovely people who genuinely enjoy and take pleasure from helping others and it really doesn't matter to them whether they are searching for living relatives or ancestors. It's the helping that counts ......... |

As with most things today, the discipline has gone from the site..............very few people bother to adhere to any codes of conduct, or to use discretion when asking for - or giving - info. |

I'm afraid you are wrong.......TTF was originally set up to find living people..............it was not threaded, and one could only post on it if the surname was in one's tree. |
