Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: go to www.rootsweb.com and they have free message posts... see if you have luck there.... if not this sounds corny.... the how to find anyone books... montel williams allways has someone on his show doing this... check out the books in Barnes and noble... you can look for it before you buy... or the library... But have you tried the white pages ... where you just put someones name in google? I would try Eureka .. and work from there maybe she never left....
