Family Tracing Service

It's our great joy to bring families back together and reunite loved ones. Using our wide international and local network, our Family Tracing programme successfully locates over 80 per cent of the missing persons we seek.

If you would like to use this service, please contact us in the country where you live, not the one where you think your missing family member might be.

How long does it take?

Searches can take from a few days to several years, and no timeframe can be guaranteed. We do not look for people who have only been out of contact for a brief period of time i.e. normally less than six months.

We will accept urgent requests in the event of a family crisis such as an accident, terminal illness or bereavement.
