There was a promo during 90210 last night for WE TV’s new show The Locator, in which a man named Troy Dunn helps people find their long lost family and friends that premieres Saturday:

That show looks so heartwarming, but ever since first reading WE’s call for participants this show has been so funny to me. Obviously, they’re only using participants on air who wanted to be found, but what about the ones who didn’t? Aren’t they kind of annoyed? and I love the way The Locator, having Located, surveys what he’s done, gives a little “My job here is done” nod, and then walks off into the sunset exactly like Michael Landon on Highway To Heaven.

    I think my grandmother was Eileen Wilson (stage name) who was married to William Powell who had my mother Dorothy and gave her to the NY foundling hospital when she was 3 1/2 yr old and I think it was 1911 when she boarded that Trains bound East Texas Polish farming community.
    I grew up hearing my mother say “these people are not my real paretns I come from New York City.” This began my 30 years search for my true grandmother, I gained some information from the NY Library for the Performing Arts who gave me pictures of Elllien Wilson and when I got them I saw members of my family in that first picture! I need someone who can help me verify that “she” was the grandmother that we never knew. My mother told me that when the train (Orphan) stopped in Bremond is was like she woke up from a bad dream and she could not remember anything but this; “It was dark, cold and rainy when this lady named Wilson brought me to this place on night and left me there” She blanked out everything else till the train stopped in Bremond Texas. Years later I got her original birth certificate from NYC and that was her mother Eileen Wilson who left her. This is what drove me to begin my 30+ years seach but still do not have proof. Her real last name was Tierney (father’s name was Thomas and mother’s maiden name was Mary Hyde)and her family moved from NYC to Mt. Vernon NY when she was little and went into acting when she was 15 years old. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Martha Durham, Austin Texas

  33. lisa knight  |   Posted on Mar 16th, 2009

    Does any one know how to go about applying for the Locator show , Im adopted and have been looking for birth mom/dad for years , I was born 5-15-1960 in Sangammon County Illinois according to adoption paper and crossed off and replaced w/ Gary Indiana . Mom was 16 @ time of my birth , father unknown. Also according to non-ident info mother was born in Maryland. Would love to be on show to find them if nothing more than to know my medical / ethnical back ground if a meeting is not what they choose. According to Catholic charities will be hard to locate because she had a very common last name. Any help would be appreciated.

  40. I am searching for my mother Linda K Camp. She was born 06/28/1949 in Bell County Texas to Orbra Ray Camp and Clara Ruth Mayo. She left when I was about a year old. And I have had no contact with her since. Clara Ruth Mayo also married Belden E Bailey and they had a son William E Bailey born in 1955 in Bell County Texas. Belden E & Clara Bailey both died in jemez Springs New Mexico. I beleive William E Bailey is still in New Mexico, but I can’t find any contact info on him either. I have COPD and would love to find my mother or any of her family for that matter before something happens to me. Any help you could give me would be appreciated. Without knowing what her married name may be now is like searching for a needle in a million haystacks. Thank you so much for anything you can do.

  43. I have been trying to find my biological mother now for about the past 10 years, my adopted mother says that I am not going to find her. I personally think that she knows about her, or her where abouts. I know her first and last name and I contacted the agency again today where I was adopted from. The agency just says well there is a waiting list. Not to sound like a crybaby but I have no idea who I look like, and my life has not been easy. If anyone has any ideas, I tried google, I tried facebook, but to no avail. Thank you.
