I found my brother on my iPad!
We reunite brother and sister separated for 38 years
Betty 70, found her missing brother on her iPad, having never used a computer before.
The retiree from Telford had been separated from her brother, Jack since 1974. She had shunned technology until this year when her 33-year-old son bought her an iPad. The first thing she did with it was to access 192.com and find her missing relative. 
By accessing 192.com, Betty obtained an address for Jack despite only knowing the city he might be living in.
“ It was so easy to find him and I couldn’t have done it without the iPad. I put his name into 192.com and ‘Birmingham’ and his address just popped up.
She added: “I wrote a letter to Jack on Thursday, and on Sunday he called me back. I was astounded. I couldn’t believe it was him. He wanted to know all that had happened in my life.”
“I was recently at a Butlins 1950’s dance and I thought it was time to put old disagreements to rest and get back in touch. “It’s something I wanted to do for a while,” she explained.
The first ever email Sue wrote was from her iPad to 192.com to thank them for helping her find Jack.
The email read: ‘Have found my long lost brother on 192.com after 38 years I’m so happy I cannot believe this has happened so quickly…we are hoping to get together when the weather improves thank you 192.com, brilliant.’
Dominic Blackburn, Product Director of 192.com said “192.com has the addresses of more than 35 million people in the UK, thereby helping Sue to contact Keith, despite such a long a period of separation.”
Directory enquiry data is available for free on the site, but to access all of 192.com’s 700 million records, users have to purchase ‘credits’ from 30p each. Sue used just six credits to find her long lost brother.
