I have tried using the personal ads with happy birthday wishes and a family reunion notice hoping that he would reply to my e-mail address given in the ads. I am hesitant aboout using his full name in the ads I have placed because the last name that he goes by is not his birth name. He goes by his step-fathers last name and I don't want to cause him or his family any embarrassment. Again, thank you. Dave
