What I did do though, was go on 'street-map', so I was not sending them to someone with the same surname in the next road, I spread them out a bit. Kim

I am planing to mail to 100 of them with the aim of finding decendants of george Lawrence. I cant aford the 300 as that would be over $250 aussie dollars. Has anyone had any success with with a mail out in the past and what percentage of success have you had?? I have had 100 2nd class UK postage stames bought over to me and my son is taking the letters back to post for me. Wayne Lawrence
