Hi pat...I would recommend that you start your research at the records office...although during COVID it may well be on line only.
Using social media can also be useful...howevervword of warning just be careful with Regards to sharing personal information .
There are websites....TV are always advertising!..also the DNA  route.
I wish you lots of luck!...my search continues...all the best Tina

Hi Lynda,

Hi im trying to find any relations of Denise marie richardson .who was either fostered

Dob 10/12/1966 born Leicester.

Hi all
I hope this finds you well especially in the current circumstances with Covid 19 in our lives.
During this difficult time I sadly lost my mum after her fight with Cancer. It has been a devastating time.
...I have titled this 'more important than ever' the reason being as my loss has ignited my need to continue to search for my birth father.
For the first time in my life I find myself with no birth parent...and this feels quite different it is hard to explain. What I do know is I want to continue with this search.....if there is anyone out there who may be able to assist...recall either the Bell Hotel...Steve Kelly..please get in touch.
Keep safe
Tina
