[Katrina-IT-Volunteers] finder sites that work

[Joe Barr]

The mish-mash and mixups of multiple databases being used are taking a
toll.  Poor Ricky, we went to San Antonio yesterday to bring his wife
back from the KellyUSA shelter.  She was gone when we got there.  Nobody
knew where.  This morning she shows up on the KatrinaSafe RC Locater
List, but not on the Family Links List.  I call 404-4000 to confirm she
is really in the ACC, am told yes.  Got that info to a volunteer working
with Ricky, they go to the Family Reunion Desk, they say she is not
there.

I really feel for him.
