Last week, his family found the webpage. Joyous reunion and a very happy ending. Not everyone has missing family, obviously. But this story proves the power of the internet in helping you find what are looking for. The best way I know to find what you are looking for is to build a web page to get the word out.
Web pages are like posting a note that the entire world can see.
You may be looking for someone else who is researching the same family of 100 years ago. You may be looking for others whose ancestors are from the same town. You may be looking for lost family as I was. Whatever it is you seek, finding others with the same interests, family tree and background can personalize your genealogy as nothing else can. Whatever you are looking for, a web page can be the first step.
