Elle give the number a try even if you think it doesn't fit - I had luck once and landed up with a load of info - skeletons and all haha Sent from my BlackBerry® wireless device -----Original Message----- From: "Keith Meintjes" <umfundi@usa.net> Sender: south-africa-bounces@rootsweb.com Date: Mon, 12 Dec 2011 19:51:05 To: <south-africa@rootsweb.com> Reply-To: south-africa@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [SOUTH-AFRICA] Locating Cousin's Current Address Elle, Try these: R Crawley Victoriasq 9 Edenglen , edenvale , East Rand , Gauteng 0116093769 J K Crawley Emerald Estate 22 Greenstone Dr , East Rand , Gauteng 0114521648 http://phonebook.yellowpages.co.za Keith ------ Original Message ------ Received: Mon, 12 Dec 2011 06:48:53 PM EST From: Elle See <elle.d.see@gmail.com> To: SOUTH-AFRICA@rootsweb.com Subject: [SOUTH-AFRICA] Locating Cousin's Current Address Hello everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle and wondering if anyone has any ideas... I live in Canada. My dad's entire side of the family lives in South Africa. I have some contact with that family via email. I haven't seen anyone in person for 20 years, prior to my dad's passing. Now, I'm getting married next year and would like to mail an invitation to one of my first cousins (I know travel will be next to impossible but it's my way of including that side of my family); however, I am only bashing into brick walls when I try to get this one cousin's mailing address out of family members. Getting family tree information has been even less successful but I would settle at this point for just SOME contact with this one cousin. I don't know if it is just because we are so far apart and "out of sight, out of mind" and that real life is more important than some far-away relative asking for a response to an email... or if there is some specific reason why no one will send me his phone number or address. I have asked on the verge of being annoying. I have googled like crazy with no success. Is there some way to look up present-day residents that I am missing? I found a "whitepages" website but he doesn't seem to be listed. His name is Paul Crawley. I don't know his middle name, unfortunately. I know he lives in the Johannesburg area, perhaps near Edenvale. He is about 41 years old and I do have a birth month and day. He has a daughter, a sister (Debbie) and his mother (Ramona) is still living. Although these ladies would be the easiest source of the information I seek, neither of them answers emails anymore. I do know both of their addresses. I have been told he is not on the internet but he does have a cell phone. I am not sure what he does for a living. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Denise - I think I will start trying that route after the holidays. I have talked to one of my relatives, again, and she said, again, that she will get me my cousin's details so I'm going to give her a little bit longer - perhaps until after Christmas - to get back to me and then maybe we do start calling every Crawley in the area! lol Thank you so much for the tip! ~LDC elle.d.see@gmail.com On Tue, Dec 13, 2011 at 4:51 AM, <denise.genealogyresearch@gmail.com> wrote: > Elle give the number a try even if you think it doesn't fit - I had luck > once and landed up with a load of info - skeletons and all haha > Sent from my BlackBerry® wireless device > > -----Original Message----- > From: "Keith Meintjes" <umfundi@usa.net> > Sender: south-africa-bounces@rootsweb.com > Date: Mon, 12 Dec 2011 19:51:05 > To: <south-africa@rootsweb.com> > Reply-To: south-africa@rootsweb.com > Subject: Re: [SOUTH-AFRICA] Locating Cousin's Current Address > > Elle, > > Try these: > > R Crawley > Victoriasq 9 Edenglen , edenvale , East Rand , Gauteng > 0116093769 > > J K Crawley > Emerald Estate 22 Greenstone Dr , East Rand , Gauteng > 0114521648 > > http://phonebook.yellowpages.co.za > > Keith > > > ------ Original Message ------ > Received: Mon, 12 Dec 2011 06:48:53 PM EST > From: Elle See <elle.d.see@gmail.com> > To: SOUTH-AFRICA@rootsweb.com > Subject: [SOUTH-AFRICA] Locating Cousin's Current Address > > Hello everyone, I'm in a bit of a pickle and wondering if anyone has any > ideas... > > I live in Canada.
