You could try Friends Reunited or Family Tree Forum but if he hasn't opened the messages sent through GR, I think you just have to be patient, as I have sent messages that haven't been opened for a couple of months.

You father may have 'given up' checking, as it is three years since he left the message - or might no longer be a member of GR, or could have changed his email address. On the other hand, he might have the email, but may not use his computer often.

You might be able to see if there is a tree on Ancestry.com. I have found my own name and names of people I know on World Connect. This is a free site and if you type in your own name, you might find it on someone's tree.

Have you looked in Friends Reunited? They are easy to confuse.

Have you googled the genealogy sites?
when did you reply, as he may well be on holiday.

I signed up for the free trial on Ancestry, and found a cousin I didn't know I had from Australia.

Good luck.
