Tracing somone

[mis1]

Hi everyone, just after little help

How can you go about tracing somone if all you have is a name and rough age? It would be my birth father who i have never ever met. I have tried a few things, like friends reunited just wondering if anyone knows like any agencies or anything like that which could provide help.

thanks in advance x

As mentioned before on here, I traced an adopted son of a very close relative using this site:

I was thinking the same thing! I used to be mates with someone who lived on the coast and I only have an old address, name and rough age!
This thread will help me too!

Hi, you could try the following - good luck

The thing with the site I used, is that it might not be the person you're looking for that notices your search, but someone who knows them. It's big old world out there though....

Good luck Rubyrose.

Crossed posts shoemad - I agree, the Salvation Army is also a good way of finding people, 'specially in cases of adoption.
