Release Summary: Father and daughter reunited by Tracesmart after
27 years apart featured in regional newspapers.
Press
Release Body: An emotional family reunion, made possible by specialist
tracing agency Tracesmart, was featured in the
Derby Telegraph and the Manchester Evening News
for Father’s Day. Rebecca and Andy Bond were
reunited following a 27 year separation. Even after this extended
period, Tracesmart were able to search their extensive electoral
roll database and reunite father and daughter within days.
Rebecca
completed a straight forward application form, and provided the
key information Tracesmart require when looking
to find relatives. "I really didn’t think anyone
would be able to find my dad with that little information"
Becky commented in the Derby Telegraph, "I had always
thought about looking for my dad but never really knew how to
go about it." Rebecca was raised by her grandparents
after her parents' divorce, and sadly her grandmother who she
always regarded as her mother, passed away when she was a teenager.
After having her own children, Rebecca started to think again
about finding her father.
It
was only when she started to look on the internet and entered
missing person into a search engine that she found Tracesmart’s
site. A researcher performed a people search using the latest
electoral roll and through an address search Andy’s brother
was found, who happily assisted with completing the trace. Within
days the father and daughter were speaking on the phone, and a
week later their first meeting in 27 years took place. They are
already thinking about the future together as a family, including
Rebecca’s five children and her extended new family of aunts,
uncles and cousins she has now been able to meet for the first
time.
"We
are delighted that we have been able to reunite Rebecca and her
father, Andrew, after 27 years. This is typical of the type of
work we do here at Tracesmart but it's always
satisfying to see such a happy conclusion to our search. Unsurprisingly
the local press were keen to pick up the story and we hope their
coverage prompts others who are looking for lost family and friends
to get in contact with us," commented Owen Roberts,
Communications Manager, Tracesmart Ltd.
