----- Original Message ----- From: "Jenni Kay" > Would you mind please chekcing the phone book for the Cobar area for Did you realise that you can check the phone book online at http://www.whitepages.com.au/wp/resSearch.jhtml You can do it with blank fields eg just the surname and Cobar as the town. It will come up with any people with that surname in the general area, not just Cobar. Similarly you can do a wild card search providing you give the surname at least 3 letters. For example Mar* will give you all names that start with Mar in the general area (good if spellings may vary). That usually doesn't work in a metropolitan area search as there are too many results but it works very well for regional areas. I wanted to know who the current owners of a specific property were and found it this way - took hours with all the variations, but I got my answer :-)) Karen
