Hi all: New lister Loretta Thomas wrote: "Or a newspaper that I could send a "seeking" letter to?" Does anyone these days read newspaper personal ads of this type? If so, can anyone help with newspapers in the St. Albans. Herts, area? Since there seems to be a "black hole" there that seems to have swallowed up my Sarah J. Giles and her father George, as nobody seems to be able to find them there, my ad would read: Seeking Sarah J. GILES, b. abt. 1830 in St. Albans, Herts, d/o George GILES. Can SKS please contact me if she is anywhere in the area in the 1841 census, or possibly the 1851. By 1861 she is married and no longer in the area. She may have left even before 1851 for all I know.
