Questions Asked By Media That We Need to Answer

Once answered, please move to the Media FAQ Section below.

• Do you want people who've registered with one list to come back to you and put in more info so that it's easier for people to ID their loved ones - add age, name of spouse, number of kids???

• How are other organizations with lists (e.g.: The Red Cross) working with you? Is anyone not agreeing to integrate lists?
  • I noticed one refusal listed; should that in fact appear here?

• How many users have come to site so far?
