The site is called FamilyLinks and is intended to "accelerate the process of restoring contact between separated family members", according to its front page.
While the FamilyLinks site, ran by the International Committee of the Red Cross, is well-intentioned, this ominous warning means that it could be used for horrible intentions by Internet spammers:
The ICRC has no means of verifying the information sent through the network. It cannot accept responsibility for any inaccurate information given through the services made available on this site.
The information given on this website is not confidential and can be consulted by everyone. It is the responsibility of the persons publishing information on this website to ensure that no harm can result from this publication.
