I just wanted to let everyone know my good news. I was originally searching for my birth mum and not only have I found her but I have also found my birth dad and 2 half sisters as well. I made first contact with my birthparents who are still together after 30 years last November and spoke to my mum for the first time on Xmas Day. Last weekend I met them for the first time and it was a wonderful experience. I now have a whole new family who want to get to know me. So to all you pleople out there still searching - dont give up and good luck. Jay Submitted by jay giles - 21/02/2003

What great site! I find it easy to use and so many options. I have found the staff at the other end pleasant more than helpful with queries. It is a must for the friend finder!

Just by scrolling through a few 'joined today names' I read a familiar name, so I sent an e-mail saying are you the John Wolfendale that used to live near us, forty something years ago? He was and it has been great 'catching up' on the news of both our families. Thanks for a great site. Submitted by Anita Burnett - 04/02/2002
Hi, Just want you to know that I came on here looking for old school friends, and was surprised to find a boy on here that I went to school with when I was 5 years old. That was over 28 years ago. We have stayed in touch and we are both still looking for others that we new from our past. Thanks. Submitted by Tanya Hearne (Holley) - 01/01/2002
