Question:I need any references for good pepole search sites or agencies. I prefer one you have a good experience with.

Here's some brief information:
His name is Patrick Wayne Estrick Hodgson born on March 12, 1958 in Jamaica, West Indies.

I'm bout to turn 20 soon and just need some closure I guess. He's been gone since I was 2 so I'm more than curious. My mother doesn't want to deal with him for obvious reasons.

Thank you for any help in advance.

It seems there's no one by that name in the Jamaican white pages:
http://jamaica.jamaicayp.com/whitebook.h...
(I can't figure out if this directory is for all of Jamaica, or only for Kingston.)

And unfortunately I only know of search sites for the U.S.
If you google "people search" and "Jamaica", you may be able to find some specific sites.
One, from the Jamaican voters' list, is here:
http://www.discoverjamaica.com/shop/vote...
But if they find results, you have to pay:
"FIRST AND LAST NAME ONLY SEARCH
Supply us with a first and last name only, and we will produce a list of everyone with the same first and last name island-wide. Cost: US $15.00."

And there seems to be another one here:
http://www.people-search-global.com/jama...
but I can't figure out how it works (where do you click after you've entered the information?).

Sorry I can't be of more help.

This website may be helpful - a few years back my sister and I found relatives we were planning for a family reunion. We actually found family members living in our same town- we never knew.

if he doesn't live in the US then nobody can help you. Where does he live now or do you have any idea on the state or city name?? I can look it up for you to an extent if I know that much.

Just go write Dr. Phil and he will invite you on the show where his investigators will try and find your dad and surprise you by bringing him on the show. Dr. Phil does missing people and reunion shows.

Try the Red Cross. The son of my brother-in-law born in Europe was located by the Red Cross.

I found a P.W.E. Hodgson listed in the Dun & Bradstreet Reference Book of Corporate Managemet, 2000 Edition.
It lists him as being in Parsippany, New Jersey.

You might go to the library and look him up in this book. It will give a biography of him and perhaps you'll be able to see if this is him or not.

Do you have any idea if he is in the USA or in any other Country?

I checked in our database for that name finding nobody in Florida nor in New York. I will check State by State but it may take some time.
