RootsChat is meant for finding ancestors, rather than living friends or relatives.

Personal details of any people known or thought to be living will be removed, in accordance with RootsChat policy, to avoid spamming and other abuses. So people here will be able to give you general tips and hints how to proceed, but not any concrete details.

You will also find more tips here:

Good luck!

Might be best to contact the Echo newspaper and they will put you in their section with others looking for friends and relatives.
