Hi Martin,

I have received a response from your suggestion to contact the
newspapers. Knud Gaarn-Larsen []has contacted me.
He said that he sent the info to friends who work on finding relatives
and has asked me for more information. He said they will go to the
archives to obtain more data and then he will print it so that Viola's
relatives hopefully can be located.

I have forwarded all the info that is available on the family to him.
It is still a long shot but may be possible. :) I will keep you
informed.

Thanks again for the recommendation.

Regards, Mavis
Mavis Menzies

Hey there,

You're welcome.

I did it a few years ago with another US family, and acted as their
local
contact (I live right next to the area they were looking at). I had
several
people phoning me, and arranged a reunion.

Unfortunately I live far from the area you're looking at.

Take care

Martin

Thanks Martin,

I have forwarded short queries to the two newspapers you have identified
and will follow with more search for appropriate newspapers.

I really appreciate your guidance.

Hey there,

The easiest way to get in tocuh with someone, is having a local
newspaper
run a story. Usually the local add paid weekly newspapers are hapy to
run
stories like this.

Make it very brief and give basic facts, like names, place of birth and
the
like.

Look under Ugeaviser (Weekly newspapers)

I found some newspapers on this list (It's sorted by county):

But it's likely you'll find better info by looking at the list, find the

names of the newspapers and then search for their websites.

Take care

Martin
