A new family is created

Dear sir

Only last week I asked you to help me trace my first love --Manuela R, who had my daughter in 1978

Late last Saturday night you gave me her address.

I spent all day Sunday writing a letter to her.

I posted the letter on Tuesday so that she would receive the letter on Wednesday

LAST NIGHT SHE SENT ME THE LONGEST TEXT MESSAGE I HAVE EVER SEEN

After marrying in haste they quicly parted and she eventually settled with a man but they never married .

He passed away 4 years ago and Mannie has been on her own ever since.

Our daughter is now 31 and is due to give birth herself within the next 7 days .

Mannie had said she had read my letter over and over and had cried all day long .

She is so pleased that I got in touch and we are going to stay in contact..

I have suggested a series of letters. texts and phonecalls for a few weeks and then if we feel the same we will meet and she agrees.

At 11pm last night she sent me a further text that simply said "goodnight" and I did not sleep a wink last night.

All is well that ends well ,

Thank you my friend for your help and interest. Peter J

A repeat client finds another old friend in Austria.

Dear Robin

I had a wonderful surprise this morning --a card from Marianne in Austria.

She was very apologetic for having replied so late, which is due to her having been quite unwell and in and out of hospital.

She does remember me and says it was a great surprise to get my letter as she is not on the internet !

She suggests arranging something with friends for further communication, although I would be very happy with the lost art of Snail Mail

I am really delighted to have had this response , and thank you for another positive outcome.

Kind regards Adrian

ALTHOUGH PEOPLE ARE MORE EASILY FOUND IN THE UK THAN EUROPE DUE TO THE MORE COMPREHENSIVE FACILITIES I am happy to search anywhere.

IN THIS CASE THERE WERE MANY NAME MATCHES FOR THE PEOPLE WE NEEDED AND KAREN WORKED WITH ME TO CONTACT ALL THE OPTIONS .

In some cases this is inevitable with common names . Quite often someone can only be found by the process of elimination

Georgina found her old school teacher Frances for old times sake.

Dear Robin

Just to update you , I went to Louth and met up with "Miss"

We had a lovely couple of hours , chatting , drinking tea and looking at old photos.

She hadnt changed a bit , facially exactly the same , just the hair was different--white!

I told her how I had found her and she was amazed when I told her about your website .

We plan to get together again and I will be staying in touch this time and linking up with two other "old girls"

I hope you are well as this is probably the last time you will hear from me . !

I thank you again and send you good wishes for the future. and keep up the great work that you do bringing people together

Best wishes Georgina

Finding Ronalds sister whom he had never met

Ronald wrote me this little letter which is rather special -------------

Dear Robin

Thank you for your letter and finding my sister when I told you she was born between 1940 and 1943

When I was three I was put into a home because my mother had 4 children which she could not look after because my father went AWOL during the war and her money was stoppeed.

So I did not know my youngest sister but I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Ron

This search was made a lot easier by the fact that Ron had an unusual surname and that made it easier to find his sisters marriage and new surname.

ITS NICE TO CHANGE A PERSONS LIFE FOR THE BETTER.

Catching up on 35 and 51 years for RAF pals

Dear Robin

Many thanks indeed for a first class result in tracing my old friend Richard .

We made contact today after 35 years and I have now made arrangements to meet and spend some time together.

What with this and your previous success in tracing my old RAF colleague, whom I had not heard from for 51 years , this last 12 months have been quite exciting.

Once again many thanks and who knows when I may call again

Kind regards Brian

REPEAT REQUESTS FROM PEOPLE ARE QUITE COMMON

THEY KNOW MY SERVICE IS SECOND TO NONE

Linda finds Elaine with the help of a neighbour

Linda tells me about her happy ending .

" Dear Robin, I am so thrilled . Just got home from work and found a message fron Gina on our voice mail.

And a wonderfully long email also . You were right, she was indeed our Gina.

She was thrilled and absolutely surprised to hear from us . she had moved from the address I had written to but is still in Plymouth and an old neighbour kindly passed our letter and photos on to her.

After all this time, to make contact again was wonderful. Elaine and her husband had moved to Tenerife for some time .
I always knew she liked it there. "

Thank you SO very much , All the best Linda

A nice christmas present from last year.

Lynns story is typical of many who contact me at this time of year.

She writes --------------

" BINGO Robin! I've found my friend Valerie . I cant believe it and its all thanks to you .

While I was out last night my son took a message from a gentleman who passed on a phone nbr that turned out to be Valerie's sister in London, He didnt say who he was but I suspect he is one of the neighbours.

I have just spoken to her and Valerie came back just a month ago to live in this country after being inn Germany for years.

Her sister is ringing her now so I am expecting a call very soon , Best wishes and have a lovely Christmas . Lynn

SOMETIMES YOU CAN DRAW A BLANK BUT ALL IS NOT LOST AS KNOWLEDGE ABOUT RELATIVES CAN SAVE THE DAY.

I made Julie's day

Dear Robin

I finally got to meet my old friend Dianna again yesterday and it was almost as if we had never lost touch.

What a lovely surprise to find out she only lives about 40 minutes drive away from me so we have lots of opportunities to catch up with the missing years.

We will most certainly make sure we will not lose touch again and I would like to thank you for your help in renewing this most valued friendship.

Regards Julie W

YOUR MISSING FRIEND COULD BE SITTING THERE MUCH NEARER TO YOU THAN YOU THINK.

Poor Mario from Holland

Mario so wanted to please the person he was going to marry in Holland but had a big problem .

He came from South America and his dutch wife to be wanted to find an old english friend to invite her to the wedding.

She had fallen out with her sometime ago and really wanted to make it up.

But as you can imagine looking for someone with a name like Geraldine Smith in London was something of a nightmare.

Poor Mario came to London on his own but didnt know where to start and went back empty handed and then they found me so I had a headache too .

I got him the list of all the matching names and their addresses and they remembered the street in Camberwell SE London where she had last been seen .

Mario came back to London and went to the right address but she was out , however just at that moment he asked someone else about Geraldine as they came out of the same building and eventually he was able to hand her the wedding invitation.

I was as pleased as he was as he had me worried for a bit. Lets hope it was happy ever after .

Anita was amazed

Anita wrote " I am so grateful for your help and amazed at how quickly I got the information I had been looking for, for years.

Thank you so much , I shall try to contact Hazel in the very near future " Kind regards Anita.

My reply provides the key to many a successful trace.

"Thank you for your kind remarks Hazel.

I know it sounds odd but the more unusual the name is , the easier it is to find the right person on the internet.

She was in fact on the electoral roll. I hope you give her a big surprise. "

Kind regards Robin

A very big reunion

John from Victoria Australia couldnt believe it after so long .


He wrote " Many thanks for your help in locating my old army buddie Arthur .

WE LOST CONTACT WITH EACH OTHER IN 1948 after serving in India and the Sudan together.


I feel like Livingston must have felt when Stanley found him .


All the best to you and thanks again John

Helen wanted to pay in advance

Helen in the states was looking for her father. She wrote -----------

Hello Robin

Thanks for your quick response , I wanted to send the payment because I think you provide a very wonderful service in a very honerable way , unlike the many unscrupulous companies out there, which you will of course be aware of .

I replied ----------------

Dear Helen

"Thank you so much for your kind donation to the service and I will do all I can to find out about your father.

People dont usually send me money until I've oked the search is feasible ."

This search turned out to be a difficult one due to it being a very common name and it is still ongoing .

Searches for unknown relatives are the most important of all searches and whatever the situation I always keep going as long as possible .

For this reason I have purchased a new website domain www.missedfamily.com to specialise in this type of search.

This starts early in the new year.

A thank you from Anglesey

Thank You's come from anywhere, the beauty of the internet makes it possible to help anyone wherever one lives.

A happy client from Anglesey writes to say---------------" Please find enclosed a cheque for £20 for finding our old friends Chris and Barbara and once again thank you very much for putting us in contact with them again.

We were last in touch at their wedding in 1972! One more thank you very much indeed

Best regards Ioan

Another old flame found

Dear Robin

Bridget J has finally contacted me last weekend and she is the bridie I have been searching for all these years .

You were spot on with your research and correct first time.

I would recommend your service to anyone and everyone ; Thank you so much for helping me

Kind regards David

Dennis just wanted to put his mind at rest .

Some people just want to know their old friends are doing OK without wanting to contact them , especially if they are old flames.

This is what Dennis said -------------

Thank you for your help in finding Maria for me . You did a remarkable job and I am sure she is the right person.

After much consideration I decided not to contact her as it appears she has had a difficult time finding happiness.

She has only been married a few years and I would not want to intrude on her life at this stage .

Thanks again Robin You did an outstanding job .

Kind regards Denny

Peter was a typical ex-service person looking for an old pal.

Peter wanted to know what had become of his RAF friend from his days in Singapore.

He had been his best man when he had married a local girl 48 years ago.

Unfortunately his friend was already dead but I managed to trace his widow and daughter through overseas marriage and birth records of his DAUGHTER.

This is what he was kind enough to say.

Robin,

I AM HAVING LUNCH WITH BARBARA AND HER DAUGHTER ON THE 13TH OCT.

THE LAST TIME WE ATE TOGETHER WAS 48 YEARS AGO .

YOU ARE AN ABSOLUTE STAR !!!

PETER G

A happy client

Philip is an english person who has settled in Austria and is typical of the Brits who like to keep in touch with old friends now he is overseas.

Please read his very words --------------

" Searching for a lost friend or relative can be a harrowing experience , as many of you well know and one always comes across these "so called" people who offer their services to you only to be told there were extensive costs and with no guantee of success.

My own personal search had already lasted four and a half years .

Then I came across this website run by Robin Brown and I was extremely interested by his openness and honesty.

I contacted Robin Brown and gave him as much personal details as I could , (which was very sketcy indeed) only for Robin Brown to contact me within 48 hours with the good news he had possibly found my lost friend .
An extremely reasonable fee was paid to Robin Brown and I was given the details of where to contact my friend .

THE REST IS HISTORY

I can, without any reservations whatsoever , fully recommend the very quick, professional and reasonably priced services offered by Robin Brown.

THANK YOU ROBIN
