Find Living Relatives

Am looking to find my sister Dawn Ellen Whiting.
I was adopted in 1966 and i know she is older than me.
My mother's name was Christine Mary Whiting from Wykes Road Leicester Uk
My Birth name was Garry Paul

Please if anyone can help

Thanks

was dawn adopted? she was born 1965

She might be on this site, but with a Leicester birth in 1964. A birth in mid Nov onwards could be registered the following Jan.

If it is the correct person, she seems to have a number of accounts.

the most recent being

If you haven't already, click on each link to send a message and hope that she is still using the same registered email address.

Check your 'sent message' box on genes to see if the messages have been read. Unopened ones have an envelope icon next to them.
Fingers crossed

Dawn was not adopted as far as i am aware and i think her married name now maybe Harvey.

Thanks I have added messages to all 3 of these accounts already...heres hoping

Thought it rang a bell, there is a little more info on Dawn's thread from 2008
