it helps if you know the year she was born & its great you have the mothers maiden name,

have you tried any of the rootsweb.com groups for her Mothers maiden name ? it means you can either join the group or just search the old messages from the particular group,

what country are you researching her in ?

if in the UK you could check www.findmypast.com & see if she Married ?

also its all according when she was born as well..

My Niece has the same problem, she is trying to find her sister who was adopted at birth, but she was registered under her Mothers maiden name when she was born in 1975..

Good luck

I've found countless people using MySpace, including my Bio-father and siblings. Don't give up. There are message boards and sites such as MySpace. Set up a profile and start searching.
Good Luck
