Researchers, Like you I am always trying to find cousins, especially after a few years or more have gone by without contact. I use several phone search engines. Recently I found that Lycos (Who-Where) http://www.whowhere.com/ Seem to have the best results and found a few people that were not listed in the other directories, like, Yahoo, Switchboard, WhitePages, InfoSpace, Dogpile, Etc. So when searching through the internet try to remember to use them in your research. Have a great week, Mark __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
