Finding my brother

Post by Vaya »

I have a brother from my father and a Filipino mother, my father has died almost 10 years ago and he only mailed his son a few times, all the info that I've got are those mails, his old AOL mail and his residence(he lived in rancho cordova LA back then, not sure if he's still there), any idea how can I find him online?
his mother married another man and I've searched for him with his step father as his last name and our father too, no results.. it would be amazing if I ever get in touch with him, any idea?

PS: he's 32 now

Hire a professional... Or search on the web what tools and methods are used to locate people and attempt it yourself...

Perhaps a silly idea, but have you tried looking on Facebook?

This reminds me so much of Jackie Chan. If you didn't know already, Jackie Chan has 2 half brothers living in mainland China. Both of them lived pretty impoverished lives early on and you would've never guessed that they were related to Jackie Chan if you ever saw them. They don't know that their half brother is Jackie Chan, but Jackie knows of his 2 brothers, but just chose to never contact them because he doesn't want his celebrity status to impede on their lives.
There's a documentary on this, it's called Traces of a Dragon if you're interested.

Good luck finding your brother though!

I've noticed recently stuff like this getting shared on Facebook, I see it a lot of the time on my news feeds? Have you thought about doing that?

also see if there are forums for stuff like this, other people might have suggestions, or know how to find people.

Would be interesting. I've never had the urge to try contacting my half siblings. They should be around their late teens or early 20s by now but I never felt any connection to them nor care whatever happens to them. Good luck on your search though.
