Help required

[claret50]

I'm trying to make contact with a friend of mine in Virginia, his last address I have is in Ripplemead, I've tried google for the Virginia white pages for his phone number, but unlike the UK, OZ & NZ, that part of the States seems reluctant to list residential phone numbers, so if anyone on this board could help with a link to an online free phone book for the area it would be much appreciated.

Hello mate.
You could give these a try?

I got them from this site: http://www.indexoftheweb.com/Information/White_Pages.htm

Hope it helps - I've never tried any of them at all so they could be useless!
Good luck.

Thanks for the links Brian, but I'd already checked those mate, with no luck unfortunately, the yanks sure are secretive with their info!

Is he just not listed, or are you having trouble getting the Ripplemead numbers?
Have you tried the old fashioned international directory enquiries? Bit expensive, but they often connect you direct to the country and area enquiry system.
You could mail me his name and I'll do a credit check on him. Banks have ways of finding people. Lol.:D

Thanks for your help Tony, nothing there mate, I'll email you shortly, I'll also send you a private message as well with his details as I know them.
Brian.

Claret. OK Mate, I'll see what I can do. No promises, but we'll try.

If he came over on the Mayflower, Brian, he just might not be around anymore!!!!!!

I'm not sure they strung phone lines out that far Claret. You might have to just contact anybody you can in Virginia and then ask them to get a message to your mate, 'cause their all related down there anyway. :D

You might be right there mate, but I'm making progress, as I've located a person with the same surname as my mate in the town of Ripplemead, so I'll phone her and see if she is related.:)

Er.... is this some kind of CIA/KGB clandestine thing?

Nothing as intriguing as that stomper, just trying to contact a friend who I've lost touch with.

Exactly the answer I would expect from an operative. My uncle was is special ops during the war, did 17 operational jumps (liasing with the resistance/ partisans etc) and every year afterwards met with a (East) German 'friend' in Italy until the end of the cold war. Totally innocent, just a guy who had fought on the same battlefield albeit on the other side. Fortunate then that my uncle had been trained to speak german and read gothic script by the ministry.
So I hope you find your 'friend'

I've now made contact with my friend, and he's in good health, special thanks to Tony, (norwaytips) cheers lads.
