Relative Connections

“I never thought I’d see him again.”

That’s what one client told us recently after we helped reconnect them with a childhood friend they hadn’t seen in over 30 years.

They had gone to school together, spent every day together growing up, and then life simply took them in different directions. Moves, jobs, families… and contact was lost.

Years later the question came back:

“I wonder what happened to him?”

With just a few details and memories to start from, our team at Relative Connections carried out a people tracing search and were able to locate him.

Not long after, they were back in touch and catching up on decades of life.

Moments like that are one of the most rewarding parts of what we do.

If you’ve ever wondered what happened to someone from your past — a friend, a classmate, a colleague — it may be possible to find them again.

💬 If there’s someone you’ve always wondered about, who would it be?

🌼 Happy Mother’s Day 🌼

Today we’re celebrating the love, strength, and everyday magic that mums bring into the world.

To the mums who make life softer.
To the mums who hold families together in quiet, powerful ways.
To the mums learning, growing, laughing, and doing their best each day.
To the people who step into mothering roles with so much heart.

Today is about honouring the joy, the connection, and the moments that make motherhood meaningful.

We hope your day is filled with warmth, appreciation, and a little bit of well‑deserved rest.

From all of us at Relative Connections, Happy Mother’s Day 💛

Can You Help Us Find Lorraine Bowden?

We are appealing for information to help trace Lorraine Bowden, who was born around 1960 and grew up in the Sussex area.
