Looking for my half brother
« on: Thursday 11 June 15 19:56 BST (UK) »
Looking for my half brother (*). I know his dad's name obviously and his moms first name. He was adopted some time ago and his mother and he changed their last name.

Hi welcome to Rootschat. I'm afraid that RC is really for finding ancestors, not living relatives, so people will only be able to give you general advice, as names of people who are still alive are not allowed to be put on here.

Have you tried social media sites such as Facebook?

Hi sparkamber

You haven't updated your profile so we don't know where in the world you are.

We could most probably offer more hints and tips if we knew.
