A Few of Our Members Currently Searching Within Wellington Who Chose To Be Featured
1. SuzeGlenn : I am searching for my half brother who was born to my mother Jane Blundell. The dates I have given are only guesses so it could even be two years later. My mum named her son Michael but I don’t know by which names he now goes by.
I have been trying for many years to find my brother for many years now and we are only getting older. I feel like time is running out and I’m awfully afraid that I’ll never find him.
I believe my brother was adopted out through the Salvation Army in Wellington. My mother is originally from Liverpool in the UK.

ELSIE ISABELL TRAINOR (married surname
HEDDERMAN) was born on 12 December 1922 in Belgrove‚ Tasman‚ South Island

3. Judithgoyen : Searching for a half-sister born somewhere in New Zealand‚ probably in 1968. The only thing I know is that she was born with Talipes but was otherwise healthy & was given up for adoption soon after birth‚ I think.
