The Paternal Ancestry of The Most Popular Actors/Actresses

Follow up with a call or message. If you are reasonably sure that you have found your lost family member, try to find a reliable means of contacting her. Look for a street address, an email address, a phone number, or a social media profile. Reach out to the person with a message explaining who you are, or call the number that you find and ask for someone by her name.

If you cannot find your family member online, it could be a sign that he or she has gone off the grid. He or she may be "illegal" in some way, or wanted by the police, or simply not wanting to be found. Bear in mind that if you aren't "friends" with someone on Facebook, private messages will go to a separate, little-seen inbox. The person may eventually see your message, but he or she will not necessarily notice it immediately.
