Contact the school. They should have all the old names and addresses from back then.

don't use friends reunited, but imagine that's where people will have looked first, well after facebook anyway.
i'm not organising the reunion, but am trying to trace as many people as possible

Thanks, but am not living local to my school now.
Not currently a member of ancestry, but tried a free search and without knowing the adults first names I was told there were too many results so couldn't look it up on there.
Thanks anyway, the paper idea may be worth a try, but someone local may have to do that
:-D

ER's will be at the main library for the area............and searchable only by address

Phone books are on Ancestry.......................up to 1984

Why don't you get on to friends reunited?

..............that's school-based....................

Or put an ad in the relevant local paper..............

Does anybody know if it is possible to view electoral roll records or phonebooks from the 1980s?, as I am trying to find people to invite them to a class reunion and it would be handy to know people’s parent’s first names so we can find them on the current electoral roll if I can’t identify the people themselves.
