I recently asked for help in trying to trace a Marcus Pawson.I recently found a rucksack with only his name in it.The bag was discovered in Birmingham uk.I searched the UK Births Register to no avail. Then decided to search Genesreunited to see if anyone had a person of that name in their family tree.I struck lucky and found 1 person that matched the age of the person i was looking for, Via the persons Grandmother who lived in Scotland.The lost rucksack has now been reunited with its rightful owner, after i delivered the bag in person.The chances of finding the owner to the lost bag within 7 days were like winning the lottery, but i managed to do it. Thought that i would let everyone know. - Think positive, and your effort and hard work will be worth it in the end.

Too cool. And you get 100 hug points from me.
Even though "technically" we avoid finding live persons (or putting names out there).. its a reminder that most of the time, such searches are for valuable reasons.

Well done, and how nice of you to care so much to go to those lengths to contact a stranger to deliver his bag. I think you're ace.
