Hi can someone advise, I am looking for my sister that left england around 1968 to go to America or Jamaica.

What is the best way to search for her using oversees records?

Thanks Roger

Quite a difference between the two possible destinations.

Has she never made contact with family since she left?

Was she single when she went?

Well the problem is I am not sure if she left England and went directly to America or Jamaica, either way she ended up in New York in America I know this via a friend of hers who used to phone her from their but then the calls stopped.

So this is the last information I have America.
