Hello

I am trying to find my sister that I have lost contact with 20 years ago. I am certain she has married at least once. How can I find her with just a first name and her birthday?

Thanks
Cathy

Hi Cathy,

That should be enough to find her. Search on www.mypoll.us and enter just her first name (because she may have remarried) and her birthdate. You will probably get about 5 people and one of them will be her. If that fails, then try again using her maiden name at www.mypoll.us in case she has divorced and reverted to her maiden name.

You might want to search death records, as well. I think death records show date of birth, date of death and last city.

Alex

Ancestry.com has posted a new database that indexes digital images of birth, marriage, and death notices from the newspapers of the following seven major U.S. cities:

The Atlanta Constitution (1869-1929)
The Boston Globe (1872-1923)
The Chicago Defender (Big Weekend and National Editions) (1921-1975)
The Chicago Tribune (1850-1985)
The Hartford Courant (1791-1942)
The Los Angeles Times (1881-1985)
The New York Times (1851-2003)

Sandra,

You would first need to narrow down those that within the age range you are looking for. Then do a phone directory search for those people. If you still cannot find them, your best bet is a search on www.mypoll.us

Anyone know about: Oleksa Romanyk who was born in Lyskiw, Poland, Mar 21, 1912, near Stryg. He married Anna Hryciw  May 23, 1947 at Wolkering, Germany. His father was Oleksa Romanyk who was born in Austria, date unknown. Wife Anna Hryciw (or Hrycw) was born: July 17, 1921 in Wolabaranecka, Poland and Lived in Sambir until 1942 and then moved to Germany in 1942. Her mother (Katherine Hrycw) died in Sambir sometime during 1935-1937. Anna’s  Brother was named Oleksa Hrycw who lived in Volja-Baranecka , Poland.

Ukrainian-Russian version:

Не важно знать о: Олекса Romanyk которые родился в Lyskiw, Польша, 21 марта 1912 года, неподалеку от Stryg. Он женат на Анне Hryciw 23 мая 1947 года на Wolkering, Германия. Его отец был Олекса Romanyk которые родился в Австрии, дата неизвестна. Супруга Анна Hryciw (или Hrycw) родился: 17 июля 1921 года в Wolabaranecka, Польшу и жил в Самбор до 1942 года и затем переехал в Германию в 1942 году. Ее мать (Кэтрин Hrycw) умер в Самбор-нибудь в течение 1935-1937. Анна брат был назван Олекса Hrycw которые жили в Воля-Baranecka, Польша.

Oleksa

Susan,

The reason your search on the Ukrainian - Russian phonebook website did not find Romanyk was because you need to enter the name using Ukrainian letters. So Romanyk would be Романик

You can quickly learn the alphabet and many common words with an inexpensive language manual
Once you have a grasp of the alphabet you would enter the Ukrainian letters into a Ukrainian Keyboard to make the Ukrainian name or word. Then copy/paste the name from the keyboard into a document, website entry, etc.

I am finding it impossible to find my mother’s sister, Ann Miller. You would think there would be plenty in the phonebook directories, etc. The problem is that there are too many! How can I narrow down the thousands of Ann Miller’s to just those that are 72 years old?
