Have you ever lost track of a friend and really want to try to find them? I have three friends I am trying to find but so far no luck on myspace, facebook, or classmates. The three friends didn't graduate at my highschool so classmates doesn't help at all. I have been trying to locate Jaime Wiggins for atleast 18 years now off and on but can't find her or anyone who knows what happened to her. I lost track of madalyn jahn about 7 years ago and in all honesty I could have written to her dad to find out where she is (last known address was in Reno NV) but I did write to her exhusband surprise surprise he never wrote back. The last one is Annagala (angie) haddock I guess I could write to her in c/o her parents. So the only really hard one to locate is jaime. has this ever happened to anybody out there? Ever run in to dead ends and not been able to find the one you are looking for?

I have two friends that I'd like to at least talk to. I know I could contact the parents/grandparents of either of them but I really don't know if they are on speaking terms and I don't want to get in the middle of family issues. The one left this area to go back to where her mom lives in another state. I never knew her dad or grandparents here but I do know where they live...I just know that the parents weren't on speaking terms with each other so I don't know how to handle it. The other had a hard time getting his life together and just bounced around for a while. He got in some trouble with his family several years ago and I don't know if it's all cleared up or not. The biggest problem I have with the first one is that I don't know if she is married and her mom lived near the border of two states so even if she's still in that area she could be on either side of the border and I only have a common first name and maiden name to go on. My second friend has an all around common name so he could be 20 miles away and I'd still have to deal with several other leads that turned out to be the wrong one.

Its happened to me since 2002 or 2003. I worked with this girl for a few years in the nineties and then she went to Miami to work at the head office of the company for which we both worked. I saw her around 2002 in October and then she retuned to Miami and I have not heard from her since. I know the company that employed both of us were reading our emails and she did give me a couple Miami addresses but letters to both of them were never answered. I recently heard she and some friends started a business of their own in Miami and that was it. I have not seen or heard from her since. I'd love to contact her but it does not seem possible.

I have lost track of a very dear friend of mine.I am trying desperately to find her.I hope and pray that i can find her soon.We were both together right from the first day of school till we finished high school.Unfortunately we both went to different colleges.Still we kept in touch by phone and through letters.Then we both married and had children still we were in touch.I never ever forgot her birthday and she always remebered my birthday.But for the past 3 years there has been no news from her.I tried every possible way but in vain.I feel very sad I want to desperately get in touch with her.

I have never had this problem until lately,there's this guy that worked as a journalist before he travelled to the US,and i've been trying for some days now to get his contact but it has not been easy because i couldn't get in touch with any of his friends or brother. It could be so frustrating.

I used to have a great friend, her name was the same as mine and we had the same number of children that were basically the same age. For years we were like two peas in a pod did everything together, then we both moved hundreds of miles in opposite directions and lost track of each other. That was 10 years ago. Last year my daughter started hanging out with a girl that also had the same name andthey kept finding a bunch of similarities. One day we were hanging out in the kitchen and they were talking about the latest "co-incident" and I got to talking about my long lost friend Lori. I was telling them I wish I knew how to find her after all these years. To my total shock and amazement, one week later my friends daughter found me on myspace and we were able to reconnect. Good luck finding your friends.

Some people are very good at keeping in touch and some are not,and im sad to say that im one of the latter.I would love to have kept in touch with a few people that I went to school with,but its just not happened!its mainly down to me,I tend to forget all about it for a while and then I think Oh I havent mailed them,by then they have cahnged there email address or some such thing,so its all my fault!But many do keep in touch via the social networking sites,my kids are facebook fans,they are all in their thirties now,but keep in touch with lots of friends that they went to school with by logging into Facebook...I tried it but its not really my thing.
