UK answer!.
You could try putting a message on www!.genesreunited!.co!.uk or you could do a search on www!.192!.com and my final suggestion would be for you to contact the Salvation Army, they do an amazing job of putting families back together!. Below is the link to their website, I would give them a go if I were in your position!.

I found this other one for you as well, but I have no experience of it, but its worth a look at least!.

There are two sites that will be valuable to you!. I'm guessing you have a clue which town they live in, so go to http://www!.whitepages!.com

If you think they moved away, then go to http://www!.intelius!.com to find out where they live now!. Then go back to Whitepages!.com to find their address and phone number!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

in the UK if you know or knew where they lived enquire in local library!.
if in USA try the library any way
