Here are some of the most common Frequently Asked Questions about this website. If you think of any other questions let us know here
Can I add my name to the database more than once?
Only if you are looking for more than one relative/friend. For instance you might be a father who is trying to make contact with both a son and a daughter who are now both grown up and living away from each other. You would need to register your details again for each relation/friend you are trying to make contact with. PLEASE DO NOT ADD YOUR NAME MORE THAN ONCE FOR THE SAME PERSON THOUGH.
Why can't I see my name on the database when I look for it?
Your name /entry may not have been entered on the database for two reasons:-
a) You didn't put in a valid e-mail address which means that you haven't filled out the registration form correctly.
b) You already have your name on the database for the same person you are searching for.
What is a "Maiden Name"?
A maiden name is the surname of a married woman before she got married. It is not a nickname, alias or your mather's surname. IF YOU ARE A MALE YOU SHOULD LEAVE THIS SPACE BLANK ON THE REGISTRATION PAGE.
What should I do if I see an offensive or libellous posting on this website?
Let us know straightaway so that we can investigate the name/person and if necessary remove their details from the site.
