Well I want to thank all of you regular "searchers" that come on and help people find missing loved ones.

I used some of the search engines from here and found an Aunt I had never met.

Before I was born I had an Aunt that ran away from home. She was the youngest of 10 kids, my dad being her next closest sibling. It was hard on my dad he said when he mentioned her when I was growing up. (he died when I was 14 so he doesnt know I found her).

Every few years I would google her very unusual name and it would never return any hits except my own internet postings about her. Well I tried again Friday but thanks to this forum I used a different search and found her!! I found her name with household residents also. I knew she was too old to have a facebook page but when searching her kids names I found one of them. Looking at his picture he looked just like one of my uncles and I knew right away this was him! I sent a message and he replied within a few minutes. On saturday I talked to my aunt for almost 2 hours! She was full of questions about my family and my dad especially since they were close.

I have 1000 questions for her still but I have decided not to ask any of them about why she left without telling anyone. Maybe as time goes by we can get close enough to ask her but for now it is enough to know I found her!

So thanks CD People Search people!
