MISSING FRIENDS
MISSING FRIENDS was a very popular column for many years. The advertisements were mostly very detailed and you can read the emotions felt by family and friends in any of them.
As sad as many were, it was also heartening when at the end of the advertisement, there was sometimes a mention of those who had been found.
The following is a selection of notices from 1902 to 1925. Have you checked such notices for your missing ancestors? A pity we couldn't go back in time and post a notice for some of those elusive souls.
Though most of these notices are from the New South Wales Police Gazette and Weekly Record of Crime (Sydney : 1860 - 1930), they cover all states and sometimes mention other countries.
Please do let us know in comments if you come across any of your lost folk.
