finding a relative

have seen a thread on this before. any help would be very good.

i have a cousin who i would like to find. not seen her for about 10 years. i know shes in england. she does not talk to her own family. she was on contact with my mother until my mother moved and lost her number.

we were talking about her today and would like to know shes ok.

any ideas on how to go about this would be very helpful. i am just getting bamboozled when i try google.

thanks dora

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, champagne in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming ~ WOO HOO what a ride!

    Why are you bamboozeled with Google? I've done half my family tree just by Googling! You have to spend a little time looking at the summary of each website for a few pages, but you can narrow it down by adding last known bits of addresses/towns. Was she involved in anything like her local Church, WI, sports club etc?

    I traced my Mums friend after 20years via Google when her name appeared in some Church meeting minutes!
