Can anyone help me i am looking for my half sister we were both adopted and she was born in 1994, her grandparents were living in new milton, Hampshire. I believe she was adopted by her birth father. I have managed to track down the rest of my birth family and i will understand if she does not want to meet everyone but i would love to meet my sister and fill her in.

Jacqueline,

If for some reason she does not open your message after a few days, then get back onto here and we will try and help you find her.

Jacqueline,

Paula posted her message in April 2011.

She has only posted4 messages on Genes - so might not be a member any more.

It might be worth starting a thread of your own on this board.

You can find the surname she was using in 2011 by clicking onto her name on her posting.

Good luck!

Woodhouse and Trilloe from Herefordshire; Lockyear and Date from Somerset, Thomas and Edwards from Glamorganshire and Monmouthshire, also Argyll, Tipperary, Limerick, Cork

Also when Paula posted this, there was no way for members to reply on this thread.

She may have had replies by private message with people offering to help, so at least she will know she wouldn't need to return to this thread to look for replies.

As long as she hasn't changed her email address she will be notified

Researching:
Nothing much
