We are trying to trace Karen Pauline Ansell born on 10th May 1965 in Eltham for her half brother who has only just learnt of her existence.
We know she was adopted, so may have had her name changed.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

Advise him to add himself to the national adoption contact register

Also, to put his tree on here in his birth name.

No-one on here is qualified to help.

EDIT

I see you've got her in your tree on here

Without her adopted name it is almost impossible for anyone to help.

Her half-brother should add himself to the adoption contact register and if she decides to look for birth family and also adds herself to the register they will be able to be put in touch with each other.
