| 1372278 | 2014-04-08 06:03:00 | I would like to track down a cousin in England but have been going around in circles with my searches so thought I would ask the Wise Ones here for tips as I am sure I must be doing it wrong. As with David James in my previous thread, this name is equally common and just as big a challenge. The website www.192.com/ could be useful but it wants money for results and I am a bit wary about such things. Has anyone subscribed with them and if so, what is the cost per search? I hate sites that want your details before giving out theirs. |

| 1372283 | 2014-04-08 09:49:00 | Foxy...Further to above. It IS possible to get some free info from 192.com. First name, appox age. Town?, wife/kids would help & I will try. PJ | Poppa John (284) | ||
| 1372284 | 2014-04-08 10:33:00 | Phone book, Facebook and Google have all been tried and are useless as there are dozens and dozens of people with this person's name . It's a bit like trying to find the black box of MH370 . :rolleyes: PJ - sent another PM . :p |

For very common names, unless the trackee is long dead, perhaps it might be faster/easier to track a father/mother/sister/brother/cousin etc and pick up the trail from there? Middle names might help sort them out as well. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

He puffed like a chimney when I met him years ago so although he is in his sixties it is possible that he has joined his parents in the Great Beyond . No siblings or children and I know of only one cousin to contact - an oral and maxillofacial surgeon in the North Island who has ignored my correspondence enquiring whether he has kept in touch with our cousin . Will be off to the library later today to see what details I might be able to dig up in their online resources . |
