jigsaw 11,905 Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 heres one for the experts,I worked a few years back with a bloke from Poland,Robert.He and I became good friends.He had dinner wit my family a few times and we spent 2 years working side by side.I have a trip to poland coming up and am trying desperately to find him but Ive no chance id say.He sent me a christmas card 2 years ago and one of the family spilt coke on it and made the writing impossible to read so Ive lost all contact with him.My quest is,is it possible to find him? I have his name,I am fairly sure I have his town,Ive googled and tried other methods of seeing him out but to no avail,Anyone able to direct me as to a better way of searching or is it a lost cause?

jigsaw 11,905 Posted May 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Do they not have census or electoral role? I have no idea about such matters or how to go about finding out,I have someone on the case right now so hopefully he can sort some info out for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
treecreeper 1,136 Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Only problem might be the lingo, and if he has a really common name, but Googled it (nowt else do stuck in van since 1400) they have both of them so if you have his full name and a rough idea on area should be very possible.
