	Hi Maddie, TW is on FB and fine. Sorry you were feeling blue. There is always hope, even while there is no sighting of your brother. If he wants to be found he will be. He is 30 now so still young, maybe he even emigrated somewhere. :-)

	Perhaps the DHSS would have details of your brother from National Insurance Contributions or Income Tax. If so, they may be willing to pass your details/letter on to him. Good luck, Liz

	Hi Maddie - The Salvation Army are quite good at tracing people albeit they do charge a small fee, but may be worth considering :-) http://www.salvationarmy.org.uk/uki/familytracing
	Researching: I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"

	Secret Squirrel didn't you used to have a virtual café on here? Hayley I recently unpacked a box of books and found the book on Tracing your Family History you sent me several years ago - does Tina the Harpest still drop in?
