wonder if my dads old name comes up
You could try this ...
- Go to DuckDuckGo.Com
- In the URL/sitename.com line at the top type:
Dad’sScreen-name site:freerepublic.com
and hit [Enter]
Replacing “Dad’sScreen-name” with his screen-name/handle/nickname (on FR) as above - no quote marks and hit enter just start scrolling Dad’s posts
Right click on a link and open a post
If you have his FR Screenname right you should come up with lots just keep scrolling down for one of interest ... or all of them.
Open some with a Right click and select “Open in new tab”, go there and you’ll see his sign up date and maybe learn some things about your Dad you didn’t know.
Good luck! ;-)
accounts on FR never go away.
