Welcome to The Briercliffe Society Forum

I have received this from LFHHS and thought it may be of interest to someone on here

You may remember we emailed you and your colleagues at Lancashire Family
History Society a few months ago asking for help with our new ITV1
series ?My Long Lost Family?. The series, made by the makers of the BBC
family history series Who Do You Think You Are?, reunites long lost
relatives, and with your help we were hoping to encourage people who
have been searching for a missing family member for years to get in
touch with us so we could help them find their relative. You very kindly
forwarded information about the series to your colleagues.

I wanted to write and thank you so much for your help in publicising our
search for people who are trying to find a relative ? in the last 6
months we have been able to trace almost 100 people and have reunited
many families over the last 6 months. However we still need to hear from
more people who are looking for family members. We?d love your help
again and would really appreciate it if you could forward this email and
the series information below to as many colleagues and friends as
possible.

Among many successful traces we have reunited two 65yr old twin sisters
who were tragically separated as children and adopted into different
families. Amazingly they had both been living 3 miles from each other
for the last 40 years but had no idea! They were both thrilled to
finally meet each other for the first time.

We?ve also reunited a 45 yr old woman with the father she never knew but
had spent her whole life searching for. We traced him in Canada ? he had
5 sons of his own and had always wanted a daughter. He was overjoyed to
meet her and they have been in very regular contact ever since.

It would be wonderful if you could help spread the word about the series
within Lancashire Family History Society, so that anyone who is
searching for a family member and who needs some help can approach us
directly. All they need to do is go to our website and fill in the
application form ? we will get straight back to them. The application
form can be found at: www.walltowall.co.uk/findmyfamily.aspx

Thank you - we really appreciate your help ? we?ll let you know when the
series is on ITV.

Kind regards

Annabel Borthwick
