DZ Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Here is a short story for you:About a year ago I started considering moving to France. While doing the usual internet research on the topic, I came across a posting from a long-lost friend of mine. Our children had been looked after by the same childminder and had formed a very special bond. About 3 years ago, however, the family won a contract to renovate a French farmhouse and , according to the posting I saw, decided to settle down in France. And this is how we lost contact with Janet.I tried to track her down through the website on which she posted but to no avail. The website administrator suggested that I should try to look for her on the Complete France Forum - and this is how I have found all you lot! I immediately got hooked on this website and put my search for Janet on the back burner. But now that I have been visiting this Forum for a while, I think it's the right time to resume my search. I can't be certain that she visits the Forum but, on the other hand, for all I know she might be hiding under one of the many weird and wonderful names and avatars here. So, if:- you name is Janet-your children were looked after by Wendy-you want to reestablish contact with meplease send me a PM!Anna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Hi AnnaIf you know Janet's surname you can search all of the French telephone directory by clicking on www.pagesjaunes.fr and then go to Pages Blanches. It is a bit tedious as you have to check either each Department or Region, I forget which, but it can be done.Good luck with your searchLiz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christine Animal Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 There's a much easier way than that, there's a site for all phone numbers in different countries, but since my computer problems I can't remember the name, it was given on here once.I see Furryknickers is back, maybe he has it, as he went bezerk and found one of his old girlfriends with it at the time...I'll be back if I find it.
