The following announces a new tool for helping find missing and
displaced persons. Currently it is available to those with web
access; I soon hope to post a followup message giving methods
of using it for people restricted to email and mailing-list
access.  --  ed (pnbalkans@igc.apc.org)

People Finder Service announced
January 11, 1996

People Finder Service (PFS): 

http://www.acs.supernet.net/people/

This simple, Internet-based, interactive, database-driven
service has been designed to help in the difficult and
time-consuming task of reuniting families and friends separated
by the war in former Yugoslavia.  It is completely public and
free to the users.  All those who are looking for someone should
regularly check PFS. Please post information to PFS which might
help someone else, close or far away, reunite with their loved
ones. 

Note: To do its job, PFS must be a public facility. Please post
only information which you don't mind anyone else reading. You,
the person posting the information, must make the judgment as
to how much information should be posted. (To get an idea of
useful information to post, you can browse through the
database.) We also accept and will post photographs. 

We make connections with printed media which post lost-persons
notices in order to increase the likelihood of reuniting
people. We will also attempt to interest NGOs and other
displaced-persons and refugee-mail services inside and outside
of former Yugoslavia to exchange information with PFS. We will
also include in the PFS database missing-persons requests that
we find elsewhere on the internet. 

Help us by spreading the word. Any ideas to improve the service
are welcome.
