Hi to all,
My mother has recently found out she has a sister who was adopted as a baby. All she knows is that her name at birth was Susan Parsons, born in Redditch, Worcestershire sometime in the 1940's. I havent a clue how or where to start searching for adoptive descendants. Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks
Steve

Right at the start of the guide it gives three links for helping with tracing adoptions
First two
