How many years have you been searching for any one person?

I think mine would have been risking it a bit - she married only a couple of miles away. 

I suspected he returned to Ireland, but there's no death there either, one of my priorities when I took a trip over there was to check the registers there.

He's either under the patio or ..........

I searched or my great grandfather's arrival in Australia for 8 years - after an Aunt had searched for a number of years. Finally found that his father came out alone in 1856 and his mother arrived with  him and his older brother 2 years later. Within 3 years she returned to England taking my great grandfather back with her. The older son had drowned a year earlier.

Am still searching 2 years later for my great grandfather's  return to Australia!   .....dee

About 4 years for information on my half great uncle, who was bit of a mystery and slowly but surely the mystery is unravelling, and 4 years on my grt-grandmother's father, but as she is illegitimate its quite tricky!!

Over 30 years for a ggg grandmother.

Still haven't found so I guess I haven't looked long enough.

Over 40 years ago, I went with my dad to Somerset House to find his Grandad.
 My dad has been dead these past 15 years. No word back to me yet.

   So Robert Norris b abt 1868/9 in Kilburn with no reg district.
   About time you came forward.

I figure there has to be a real good reason for my missing relatives to stay hidden or missing in action. Why would you want to simply disappear?

But one of these days they will appear ... or so the optimistic side of me thinks.

And yn9mn, that is what will make them interesting.  I have one in particular I am chasing right now, and have been for almost 14 years.

Kath -

Once they eventually appear I will want to know not only the "why" but the "what" that caused them to disappear.   

As I have said on many occasions before I must be looking in all the wrong places ....
