TESTIMONIALS

Our names are Nita and Michael Stacey, and we run Family Finding. We have invested in the very latest databases and search technology, we specialise in re-uniting blood relatives. For several years we have been involved in re-uniting people, now mainly living in Australia and Canada, but also in New Zealand, South Africa and America. These are people who as children were transported, from the United Kingdom to other countries, under what was called the Child Migration Scheme. This type of search is recognised as being one of the most difficult to resolve, due in most cases to the lack of information, sometimes not even a birth certificate. In the vast majority of cases the children were transported without the knowledge of their parents. Our success in re-uniting families, sometimes after a period of 60 years is now recognised world-wide. We have been featured on CBS 60 Minutes in America, also our successful reunions have been shown on Carlton Television in the U.K, in addition we have been featured in numerous newspaper articles world-wide. We provided information concerning our successful search techniques to the Australian Senate, enquiring into the Child Migration Schemes. As of September 2003, 672 external sites linked to our web site www.childmigrants.com these include High Commission's and major libraries and studies centres world-wide.

The following is an extract from the South Australian Eastern Courier
published on the 28th March 2001.

"Mrs Carlson said an English man and his wife had done more to track down lost families in a few months, than Governments have done in decades." "Since late last year Michael and Nita Stacey of East Sussex had voluntarily trawled through records, reconnecting Adelaide women with their families." "Evelyn Beyer, of North Haven, only last month discovered two brothers and a sister, through Michael and Nitas help." "She said that after speaking to her brother Edward, I shook, I couldn’t believe it" "I missed my mother by five years" "All these women had stories of failed attempts at getting help from Governments and agencies…" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MANAWATU STANDARD 22ND JUNE 2002 (NEW ZEALAND) Marion Tilbrook is about to meet family in England she did not know existed until three months ago. The Palmerston North woman and her son, Rob will next week travel to England to meet two of her brothers, two sisters and an aunt. "We have gone from being a family of four to 104 within a matter of a couple of weeks," Mrs Tilbrook said. In 1983, Rob started to look for his mothers family. "For my own piece of mind I needed to know where my family was," he said. But he kept hitting brick walls. In 1988, Mrs Tilbrook and her daughter went to the orphanage in England where she used to live, but were told by a nun "to let it be" The breakthrough came three months ago when Mr Tilbrook contacted Michael Stacey, Mike was able to open a lot of doors and he found Mrs Tilbrooks family. The experience has been an emotional one for the family, but it has brought them closer. Mr Tilbrook said for him "it is closure, it is the missing link I needed," and if it had not been for Michael Stacey, none of this would have happened.
