Missing people: can you help?

For most people, Christmas is a time when families get together. But for some, it's a time of wondering what has happened to relatives who have not been heard from for months, or years.

For more than 120 years, the Salvation Army's Family Tracing Service has been reuniting people who have drifted apart - sometimes because an address has been misplaced, sometimes because of a family upheaval.

The following people are urgently sought by the Family Tracing Service.

If you are the person or can provide any information that might help, please contact the director of the service.
