how can I trace an old pen pal from Italy?

[lonelymumof3]

I lost touch with my pen pal who lives in italy. we lost touch when I moved house and I lost her letters in the move. I can remember part of the address, and tried to write to her using what I could remember but that was months ago so I am assuming that it didn't get there, or she no longet lives at that address. Any ideas?

google? Surprisingly effective.

have tried that MI. Just comes up with loads of different people looking for specific people.

HAve you tried calling international directory enquiries?

If you know her surname she might be on the phone book.

just done that webmum....no joy

sorry...no ideas then

Try the Italian whitepages site here

or Lost amigos here

thank you cd....cant understand italian though for the whitepages!!!!

Ah sorry I thought as you were corresponding with her you spoke italian. I'm sure you could easily find a mumsnetter who does.

Do you know which town she lives in? And which street? Should be easy enough. Could she have got married and changed her name?

well she lived with her parents when i was writing to her. she wanted to learn better english so we wrote to each other in english. she would be the same age as me so she could have got married. i tried international directory enquiries with no luck.

If you have their names and the town and street it must be possible. Send them to me via CAT and I'll give it a go!

oooh thank you CD. would mean a lot to me x x

Send me any info like date of birth etc that you have. Oooh vampire turned private dick!!
