A while back, one of our list members expressed frustration in tracking down living relatives. It occurs to me that some of you might not know of the 'online' telephone books that are available and FREE to search. Now - this is ONLY handy of you happen to be searching an uncommon name, 'cause you know if you check the phone books for "Jones", or "Sutton", etc. you're just not going to have any luck. However, the lady that was asking was looking for McEACHERN, so I will use this as an example. One of the SEVERAL online phone book sites is one called "www.411.com" (as in "411 - information"). When you go to that website, you can click on the button for "White Pages", then fill in as little or as much information as you want. I typed in JUST the last name McEACHERN, and JUST checked for the State of Texas, and found TEN listings. You can get more specific, and check a name just for one particular city, or for the entire United States. Try it, if you are looking for a less-than-common surname. Regards, Karen GAUNY Crisalli
