Help in my search
I am glad that you found who you were looking for. I am looking for someone and I am not sure how to navigate this site, there is so much on it and I have never used anything like this in my life! I met a man in 1966 when his ship was in Boston and we corresponded for about 2 years before we broke off contact. I recently came across envelopes that usedto have his letters in them, there is no return address only some postmarks from various places that he sailed to while we were corrresponding. His name was Neil Dunbar and I believe he came from Liverpool. He would be about 60 now. Would you be able to give me any tips on how to make my search here easier? Thank you for any help you can give. Christine (Martens)
