Manchester Expats - try our new map!


30/ 5/2008

ARE you a former resident of North and East Manchester who has moved abroad and who wants to get back in touch with people still living in the town? Do you know of friends or family who have moved overseas and you want to try and track them down? Well here's your chance with our new interactive map ...

In this section, we're giving an opportunity for people who were parted when locals decided to make new lives overseas to make contact once again.

If you are an ex-pat, who wants to know the whereabouts of a pal or relative, send us the details and we'll post them up here. The same is true of locals - let us know if you want to get back in touch with a local who has left these shores. You never know - they might just visit this site, read your message and you could be reunited.

Alternatively, ex-pats can write to us simply if they want to let the folks back home know what they've been up to, how life overseas is treating them, and what they miss about their home town.

All you have to do to take advantage of this service is to click here to go to our interactive map of the world , then click on the part of the map where you live. Your own pinpoint will appear which you can move to the exact location you want (use the controls on the top-right of the map to move around and to zoom in and out, right down to street level). 

A form will also appear which will allow you to give your name, contact details, reason for moving and anything else you want to share with us. You can amend this information whenever you like by clicking on your pinpoint.

Please note - this information will appear live on the site immediately and is not moderated. If you feel that somebody is abusing this map service, please click here to e-mail the web editor.

NOTE: All entries received so far, which can bee seen by clicking on 'View comments' have been added to the interactive map - from now on we'd like all new entries to be added via this map and not by clicking on 'Submit comments'. Thank you.

   I am looking for family of my Dad. George Stringer. The Stringers lived in the All Saints area. They were connected with the Prince's Theatre, before, and during the war, and other properties, in the area. My Dad had three brothers, John, Billy and Sam, and five sisters, Frorrie, Amy, Bertha, Katy and ??. I am trying to build a family tree. It would be good, if I could meet any family also.
