JO NICHOLSON writes: "I have just connected with the great granddaughter of my husband's grandparents. I did this through posting a message on the Bolton message board.
Also after seeing my message a gentleman contacted me to see if I knew his sister in Launceston Tasmania where I live, and I found her in the phone book and put her in contact with her brother. They hadn't heard from each other for about nine years.
Your newspaper is successful on two fronts, and I thank you very much for your message boards."
