An increasing number of people are requesting our web site, ww.thisisthelakedistrict.co.uk, post information and digital images to help them find out about long lost friends and relatives.

The Connections section, Leisure and Lifestyle, will post the information and activate a section for people to give feedback online. An email link to the originator can be set up at their request.

If you are searching for a long lost relative or want information for your family tree, with roots in the Lake District, email your request and details to the Web Editor, kate.whiteside@kendal.newsquest.co.uk (click on name at top of story.)
