Default Random shot in the dark for some help from a CA resident

Hi Everyone!

Not sure I am in the right place or not...mods please move if not.

I found this forum while trying to track down some relatives that I have never met. During my research, I discovered they have moved from NY to The Villages in Florida.

I do not know if either would be active online (both are about 75 years old), but I am hoping there is a slim chance maybe somebody on this forum might know them? I would like to not publish there names online, but I can send all the info I have in a PM if somebody would like to try to help me.

I have not found a public phone directory for The Villages, and stumbled across this site during that process. I have know idea how large the community is, but any help would be appreciated. Thanks for any help!

Send me a PM and I'll take a look in the phone book for you to see if they are listed. I can then send them your info and let them get in touch with you.

There are several sites on the net that you can look up a phone number by inserting the address.
http://people.yahoo.com/
http://www.anywho.com/
http://www.freeality.com/finde.htm
Also try to Google the address.
Since you have their address, have you thought about writing them a letter? Yea, I know that is kinda old fashion.....but it might just work.

Thanks. Trust me, I have spent a lot of time researching online. I have found 2 phone numbers, both disconnected and based out of NY. I have found they moved to Florida and my searched ended with this site.

A old fashion letter will be the next step, I just found their address today. There number is not listed, so I figure the only other spot it may be found is a residence directory for The Villages.

Thanks!

You could also try searching The Villages three county assessors websites:

Marion Co: http://www.pa.marion.fl.us/
Sumter Co: http://www.sumterpa.com/GIS/Search_F.asp
Lake Co: http://www.lakecopropappr.com/proper...ty-search.aspx?

Let us know if you were successful by using these search tools.

ADDED: WHOOPS! Four minutes late and a dollar short!

The Villages doesn't show on some GPSs and zip code directories. It shows as Lady Lake, FL, and now maybe Wildwood with the new building in the South of TV.

I'll assume you now have the address for these relatives. Hope they are the people you're looking for. A letter to them might be the way to go.

Good luck.
