When I am looking through this thread, I only look at the ones who have a name in the subject matter. Put the name you are looking for, ( at least the surname) in the title of your thread and I think you are more likely to get a response.

I tried to put this in the "Trying to find" but it needed a name so I can't give those trying to find someone a tip!

TTF is a mightmare! If only GR would make it clear to everyone where they should ask for a lookup life would be soooo much easier.

And please don't use upper case, capital letters are so hard on the eyes.
Think before you post, what you really do know about the person you are looking for.... and say thankyou when you're done!

Researching:
For better results please give all the details ,name, date place as you can {pictures by me }

I agree with you. It's frustrating to have to open every message just to see if it is relevant to you. It helps using names in the title, but a 'mouse-over' showing a summary of perhaps one sentence would be even more useful I think.
