11. i had a friend in Boston when i lived there

and if i went - well, of course i'd want to look them up.

i found something on the one steve gave me, but you have to pay for it and the last known update was 2001. don't think i'll waste the $

13. How 'bout this situation...

I have a friend I met in London 29 years ago. He was from New Zealand, and he went by a stage name, Christian Kiruke. I know his legal first name is Donald, but I can't remember his last name. We lost touch when he left to work the Baltic cruise ships, heading for Scandanavia early in '77.

I'm damned if I can find any sites that address only knowing half a name! I'm usually met with derision if I even try.

[steve2470]

16. would he be in NZ maybe ? nt

[pink-o]

18. It's entirely possible....

I came back to the USA in 1977, and most of my ex-pat friends I met in London went home. Do you know a NZ site I might be able to trace him thru?....

17. bighugs.com

Put in the name and state (if you know it) and it will come up with people of that name and their age. That might help you identify where they are and then you can do a white pages search. Or you can pay the $30 or so to have them investigate it.
