Seeking three half sisters

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

I am searching for my three half sisters: two will be in their 70s and the other in her 80s. The younger two I believe I have found and traced to the married names but from there on I am stuck. The third is proving elusive; I have hit a brick wall. I am unsure quite what to put on this post so perhaps someone more knowledgeable than I could guide me further.

Suan, if you want to PM the names rather than put them on the board I will have a look and see what I can find. If you have their married names you can try looking at

Have you tried looking to see if they have children? They may be easier to find.

Use the husband's surname, the mother's maiden name and a suitable time frame.

Its possible to do the same on the majority of FH subscription sites
