Finding Half Brother and Half Sister

keystone

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to ask this question so my apologies if it isn't.

Without going into great detail, I have a half brother and half sister that I've never met. They are the products of a relationship my father had some years ago.

Unfortunately my Mother has no information on them, or so she says, and I have no contact with my Father.

I've queried some of my Father's family and they have no information apart from their first names.

Can someone point me in the right direction as to how I could track them down?

They are both over 25 at this stage I believe and I'm in my mid 30's by the way.

Hey Keystone

I'm in a similar situation, I'm 22, have 4 half siblings in England. Their mother, my dad's ex-wife, wanted to pretend I didn't exist, didn't tell them anything about me. They heard from other relatives about me, or in one case, guessed. I always knew I had half-siblings.

They are in their 30s and 40s. My dad was well into his 40s when I was born.

I've met one, a sister, when I was 21. Was quite a strange experience but she's a nice woman. Haven't stayed in touch since but it was good to make contact. Dad arranged it and tested the waters with both of us first.

Of course when you have no contact with your father it would be difficult to find these siblings. Would you be able to find him or contact him?

I would say maybe search on Facebook or similar if you had their full names. Ask your mother again? It is your right to know, they are your blood relations, after all.

Other than that, I'm not really sure where you would go to find them, unless you wanted to go down the official route, birth register etc.

Best of luck.
