Question about FB and finding friends

[Magic Mom]

After high school, I lost track of my best friend. She got pregnant right after graduation, and married her HS boyfriend. He was not abusive as far as I know, but he didn't approve of her friends and IMO was a little controlling. She is on classmates.com, but I don't have a paid membership, and as far as I can see she she isn't active. I found him on Facebook, but not her and they must be divorced because his status is single and he has a girlfriend. I messaged him and asked if he knew how I could contact her but he never answered me(we were friends in HS, he knows who I am).

Through his page I have found their daughter's pages. They are young adults, not children. WOuld it be wrong for me to ask them to pass my information to her? What if she passed away? or what if they are estranged? I don't want to upset anyone.

Since they are young adults, I think it would be fine. I can't think of any reason you shouldn't do that. I hope you're able to get back in touch with her!

I agree with the pp, I think since they are young adults that would be perfectly fine.

I'd do it thru the adult children. I have found some long lost really good friends and am so thankful that we have reconnected. IMO go for it, you have nothing to lose. Good Luck

I see nothing wrong with trying either.

I was found by a cousin I have not seen since I was probably 15yo (that's 30 years!) and through her found several more friends from my childhood! It is wonderful to find and reconnect.

Another thing to try (which is something I do) is if it shows, scroll through their friends list. When I'd find one friend, I'd look through and it would lead me to others. Worth a try.

OK, so I went ahead and sent her a message. I hope she responds. Thanks for the advice.

another way you could try is:
Cliuck the 2 head logo and click find friends
scroll towards bottom and on lower loeft there is area to type in name and below that mine has choice to search for classmates from my hs class but even just typing in name brings up diff page and i believe there is way to type hs, workplace, city state etc in there too might give you some leads

I don't think it's wrong. Good luck with finding your friend!

I agree with everyone else-- I hope the daughter answers you and you can find your friend!

I hope you find your friend! That has been one good thing about fb...I've contacted so many good friends I would never hear from otherwise.
