Finding a lost brother?

Question

I have wanted to find my long lost brother since i was a young girl and I have no clue how to do it. This is something that has haunted me pretty much my whole life. There are a few things I know (his name, when he was born, where, and who his doctor was when he was born) then there are things I have been told but I'm not sure are true (my biological mom has a habit of lying) but she has told me his dad's name and where he grew up and that he's native american like me (but like I said i can't be sure any of that info is true) I don't have a lot of money to spend on this search but I'm scared I will go to my grave never knowing him. Please help I grew up kinda a outsider in my own family I had two siblings who where white and couldnt relate to me and honeslty picked on me for being different. I would like to connect with him and maybe have someone I could relate to.

Answer 1

The first place to check would be Switchboard.com. It's like a telephone directory and you can use it for the whole country. Just enter the name. Check for his father's name and his name. Add the state where he grew up. If Switchboard doesn't come up with anything it may have a block that says Intellius and that they have info. Go to their page and they charge. They have some info like ages or where the person is to narrow it down. They have different cost levels.

It's pretty hard to find someone unless you have access to government databases.

Good Luck.

Do you have a myspace page?  You could put a similar message in your blog at your page.  Also, in the ads section you could put a similar notice.  You could also try the ads at Craig's list.  You could try putting a notice/ad in the local newspaper where you think he grew up.  

Try zabasearch.com

Also, put ads for his dad and do searches for his dad's name.

Answer 3

If he's over 18 years of age, you could check the electoral role.

Answer 5

I've been told that the Church of Latter Day Saints is dedicated to genealogy, even if you're not Mormon, they have records of families from all over the United States.  i don't know a whole lot about them because I'm not Mormon  but for the Mormon faith, genealogy is a central part of their religion. They are based in Utah, I would contact someone local who is Mormon or go to their headquarters.  They might have some information you could use.  Good luck!!!!

Perhaps a private investigator could also help, I wish I could recommend one but ask around and get some references
