Dear Wayne

I wanted to write and say don't give in - something will happen and you must
just 'keep at it'

I tried for 4 years to find my family hitting just one block wall after
another.

Eventually a picture of a house that I had tried to find out about became
the key and within a month I found my family.

Not in the UK where I thought they were but very comfortable in South
Africa.

I put your email aside to write and now I see Keith's email - you just keep
trying.

The person who unlocked it all for me was Paul Chefitz and I hold him very
close in my heart

Regards
Dafanie
