994.0. "Locating a Relative?" by CSLALL::COMPANION () Fri May 31 1996 14:09

    
    
      Hi, I'm wondering if anyone can help me with this strange problem.
    
     A close friend of mine has been looking for an estranged brother and
    the only information she has is that he moved to Vancouver Island years
    ago.  He is in his late 70's I believe and his name is Francis Gill. 
    Is their an island directory that I could find or some other way of
    locating him.  She really wants to make peace with him if he even is
    still alive.
    
    Can anyone help?
    
    Thanks in advance, Debbie

    If your phone book search doesn't pan out...
    
    you might look for further info in the BGSDEV::GENEALOGY notes file,
    it covers  tracking down ancestors AND relatives. A few of the notes
    deal with doing that in Canada, good luck!

    If you have access to Netscape then point to this URL:

    		http://wyp.net/info/search/NA.html

    The above is a service that contains all the phone numbers in North America.

    It will prompt your for a name and if the search is successful, gives you 
    the phone number and address of the person you are looking for.

    Regards,

    Graham

Hi Owen,

I found only one entry with a first name initial starting with F:

	Gill F
	8614 Kingscome Crescent, Sidney

	(604) 656-6660


Sidney, which is north of Victoria has a fairly large retirement community.  
Perhaps its the right person.

Glad to be of help.

    The URL mentioned in .2 is really interesting. Unfortunately, the
    listings are at least 2 years old. It still list my old address and I
    moved in May of 1994.
