Norma There is no way to access Living people through a Research mailing List. You need to look at telephone directories , electoral rolls etc. It is possible you could meet up with someone on the list researching the same family names, but those chances are fairly slim. If you know the area, they may be living, have you thought of an advertisement in Personal Column of a Local newspaper. Most of them have Web Pages and you could search using " Google" or a similar search engine!
