A MAJOR new television series wants to help North Yorkshire residents get in touch with long-lost relatives.

Long Lost Family is a new series from the makers of Who Do You Think You Are, due to broadcast on ITV1 later this year.

Many of the people featured in the series have been adopted or gave children up for adoption when they were young, and programme-makers Wall To Wall are working closely with charity Adults Affected by Adoption.

If you have a story to tell and are interested in taking part in the series, please contact The Press at dan.bean@thepress.co.uk or visit www.walltowall.co.uk/longlostfamily.aspx
