to ask on here. I often wonder if people who put up requests to see if anyone can find someone on various census etc and only get a couple of replies saying they can't find them think that not many people are trying.
I'm sure there are loads of people who look but can't find them who don't reply at all. I know because I do. I would feel silly just saying "Sorry I can't find them".
Do you think it is better to say something so that the person knows people are trying or not?
The other thing that I wonder about - if I see loads of replies to a query I don't always look at it because I assume that people who are better at it than me are helping. So if we all went on the thread and said "sorry can't find it" it would look like loads of replies and people might not look.
Well, I know what I mean
