Losing touch with family members, friends, and loved ones is more common today than ever before. A house move, a lost address book, a change of phone numbers, or a new email address can be all it takes to fall out of contact. If you are looking for an old school friend, a natural parent, or estranged relatives, The People Finder: Reuniting Relatives, Finding Friends, A Practical Guide to Finding People When You've Lost Touch makes sense of the vast amount of information available, providing useful contacts and valuable resources. Written in a friendly, accessible style with lots of practical examples and personal stories, The People Finder can be used as a do-it-yourself handbook or as a guide to finding the best possible help for your search. Karen Bali, the founder of The People Search Consultancy, offers advice on using the Internet; tracing births, marriages, and deaths; locating public records; finding people through their work and hobbies; and using agencies and other organizations. Bali also shows you how to make contact once you have found someone. Whether you are looking for lost relatives, tracing descendants, or seeking out an old friend, The People Finder is the best place to start! The People Finder is intended to help anyone who has lost touch with old school friends, unknown parents or estranged relatives. It offers advice on using the Internet, tracing births, marriages and deaths, research techniques and how to make contact with people when you've found their details again. Although genealogists are urged to work back, Bali specialises in working forward to trace living descendants. It's very interesting to explore the different discipline this entails, and refreshing to read of tracking down living people rather than the dead. The scope is inevitably more diffuse than genealogy alone, but this is an excellent and friendly book, well populated with real-life examples, by a resourceful author. —Your Family Tree, March 2007
