Just in case others came across this post like I did - rather too late. My mother would have been one of the other adopted children, Linda's sister. Please messge if you are interested in making contact :-)

Unlikely that anyone connected will see your post - hardly anyone uses these boards.

If you know any names, look for them in ‘search all member trees’ and send messages to the tree ‘owners’. GR will notify them - providing their e-mail info has been kept up to date on here. They will then have the option of responding - but bear in mind that there are numerous reasons why someone may not do so.

You can’t contact Linda, as she is no longer a member - and in any case she didn’t bother to acknowledge the info people took the trouble to find for her.

Thanks Erika H. I came across these old posts via a Google search, so thought others may too, thus I thought it was worth adding a comment. And with the possibility Linda's family may be following, as I believe it's too late for us to connect with her directly, my condolences if they are reading.

I have sent a few messages and understand they may not receive them or choose not to responsed. Again worth try.

Thank you again for your reply Erica :-D

Have you tried to track down Lacie?
