Missing Links

 

Research

Here at Missing Links we are in our 12th year of researching and re-uniting U.K. born adoptees with birth families, working for clients at home and around the World and tracing family in many countries.

Our research is carried out with total confidentiality.

Quite frequently adoptees have not had access to records of their birth and adoption. Using various databases we are usually able to advise where these may be located and how they may be accessed.

Searching

During the course of research we initially utilise any of the following records

  • Indexes of Births
  • Indexes of Marriages
  • Indexes of Deaths
  • Probate Records
  • Past and Present Electoral Rolls
  • Telephone Indexes
  • The Adoption Index
  • Local Newspaper Records
  • Deed Poll Records

If you have already had access to your adoption file or have specific information relating to your birth parents, it may help the research if you can provide copies or details from them. Likewise if you have a copy of your 'full' original birth certificate please send us a copy. If not then we are able to apply for one. Any copy documents can be sent to us as scanned pages attached to an email or by fax or conventional mail. Full details are shown on the 'Contact Us' page.

Should our searches indicate that the person we are seeking has moved to another country then we utilise the services of other professional researchers in that country. They are aware of the confidential nature of our work and we trust them to carry out our research both professionally and confidentially.
