So i found my birthname, adoption papers and mothers name. I am in canada and was born in England. Any tips on locating someone in the UK. I have contacted my adoption agency and just waiting a reply. Thanks in advance
Hi Warnova,
I'm in the States, but I can name some websites that might help you out.
First of all, if you have a name, that's a good starting point. Try genealogy/heritage sites - I haven't specifically looked in the UK, but ancestry.com seems to be very helpful for more than just us Americans. Obviously, it helps if you're working with a less-common name. Looking for a "Smith" is basically like looking for the proverbial needle in a haystack. There are other sites that I found helpful in my own search. I used archives.com, for example. I also had good luck with a few other sites, including Facebook, if you can believe it, once I'd narrowed things down a bit.
I hope the adoption agency can give you more information and perhaps a bit of guidance...
Good luck to you!

Thanks for you reply emerald23, I think i have pretty much covered every site on the internet now and all i can do is wait. But ya never know :)
Sorry I couldn't suggest anything new, then. I hope your request to the agency yields as much information as you need to find your birth family.
Again, good luck!

Hi, I would also suggest you to search for anyone on the social media sites is really very good. You counld use FaceBook for people along with the place and get a number of people. Then from there check their profiles. There are chances that you would succeed.
