kazads53 Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 could anyone tell me how to go about trying to find an old school freind who emigrated to australia in 1968 thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitehorses Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Hi, you don't say if the friend is male or female.Obviously males are easier to find as they don't change name on marriage. The same as Sheffield forum has the ex pats page, have you run a search on google or similar for Australians who have an English x pats page?You could then join and ask there if anyone could help you.Also, do you remember what part of Oz they went to? If you look on the history and ex pats section on here in the sheff forum, on the thread 'Anyone come from Grimesthorpe?' you will see that some of the members are ex sheffield , now living in OZ, they might be able to put you onto some kind of association in Oz that might help, if you ask nicely!!Hope this helps.
