Please note: Details that you provide in your questions to me may be posted to the AllExperts site. This means that your personal information could be displayed for the world to see. If this concerns you, please adhere to the following guidelines when communicating with me through allexperts.com
GUIDELINES: Keep questions general in nature, while giving enough information to explain the situation. GrannysCupboard cautions against sharing personally identifying information in public arenas such as AllExperts.
[Personally identifying information includes, for instance: dates of birth,
social security numbers, drivers license and registration numbers, full names
(past and present), education and/or employment histories, financial data,
account ids and passwords, home and business addresses (past and present),
telephone numbers, and photographs.
Providing this type of information about yourself, your family, or your friends
can lead to misuse by persons with less-than-honorable intentions. There are
times when GrannysCupboard may want more information in order to provide high
quality service. In these cases, we will arrange for the transfer of that
information privately.]
In your question, DO include your sex, race, year and state of birth, and your relationship to the person being sought. Include the sex, race, and both the year and state of birth of the person being sought, when possible. Include information about recent whereabouts, occupations, and the approximate ages of relatives, when known.
Providing an accurate answer to your question requires only the limited information called for in these guidelines. Please do not put yourself or your loved ones at risk by sharing personally identifying information in public arenas.
