    I need help!

    I woke up very early Wednesday morning thinking of this girl I hadn't seen in six years and found out I really needed to track her down and get in touch again!
    I met her on two separate occasions at the Gaelteacht the first time in Longford in 2001 and the second time 2002 in Galway, we hadn't know we were both going to be there so coincidence, I think not! fate, maybe.
    I had a somewhat of a crush on this girl or at least felt some kind of connection which could have been love, likewise I knew she felt something for me also. This girl is Italian Irish and I remember the name of her sister also, both were living with their grandparents in Ireland. From what I remember she was from Sligo but I only think this because I remember we were to wear our county colours on one day and she wore a black jersey. This has been botheirng me because I was so sure I could find her online, I did a bebo search but found nothing, haven't tried Face Book.

    This would mean alot if I were to find her again can anyone give me an idea of what I could do? I only remember her first name and as said I believe she's from Sligo.

    Contact the Gaelteacht where you were staying, her contact info might be the same..

    Otherwise try facebook like you said yourself/pray.

    I recently became reacquainted with a girl I had met while on a holiday with my god parents in County Wexford back in the mid 1980's through FaceBook. If you know her name give it a crack. You never know ...

    Contact the Authorities they would know everything. :D


    On a serious note if you ask them nicely they have records from the electorate, car registration, passport applications etc etc. It helps if you have an idea of where she is from, they are not obliged to give information but sometimes do if you ask them nicely. :)

    You can also ask make enquiries at a social welfare office.

    completely but she was too beautiful and too amazing to forget about that's why I think I remembered her for the first time in six years, there's gotta be a reason, plus It's that time a year, I can't imagine how overwhelmed she could be and I would be if we found each other again! Love can't be explained.

    Just google her name in inverted commas, that works if ever her name was on the internet. Failing that, forget about her.

    Go to the social welfare office, they should be able to help you with records taken from the state registry, they can also let you know if she is claiming the micky money, in that case just forget about her. :D

    Eh, this is a tad bit stalkery....its been 6 years, the girl might not even remember you, its sounds as though ye never really knew each other or talked much, if you are not even sure of where she's from. I'd say she'd get a bit of a fright if you just randomlly called her up, or went searching for her on the internet.
    But I mean, whatever, maybe you need to do it to get it out of your system

    I recently done something similar and found her bebo. It turned out time had not treated her well and she quiet possibly ate consistently since I last seen her because she was about the same size as a small cottage.

    Leave her go. Some things are best left in your head.

    type the following into google.

    intitle:"person's name" site:bebo.com

    That will search bebo for people with the same name. I had to track down an old friend of mine and found him that way. Chances are if you can't find them on facebook, this is your best bet.
