Field notes
The project describes a weekly chapter format in which each installment reveals one line of the letter; a family member could try to finish its sentences. Its map uses only the first part of an Eircode or Northern Irish postcode and places a candle at a random window in that area. For a possible match, the site says only a trained Keeper will make a private approach, with options including declining contact or saying “not yet.”
