Default searching for my brother

My name is Wendy and I have found out today that my brother and his family emigrated to Australia without telling us. We have no idea what part of Australia he went to only that he left in October and his wife and 2 daughters followed a couple of weeks before Christmas.

His name is Micheal (Mick) Gordon he is 51 and his birthday is the 18th 0f December. His wife is Susan (Sue) and his children are Sarah and Ellen aged 16 and 13. Mick is working as a pastry chef.

We have no idea why he left without telling anyone and would love to get in touch with him. We were never a close family having had a rough childhood but I always thought I was close to him and want him to know I love him and miss him.

If anyone knows him could you please pass this message on to him and ask him to contact me by whichever means he chooses, just let me know you are OK.


Wendy.

Would the Salvation Army help out with this sort of thing? It might be worth contacting them to ask, if they can't help they may be able to point you in the direction of another agency which can.

I am not sure whether electoral rolls would be available state by state. I do know it is much harder to search for the living than it is for the ancestors I usually research!


If you get very desperate you might consider a private detective. I don't think they are all expensive.

I do hope you will find him. Please let us know.

I think that it's unlikely that they will be on the electoral roll since you don't get to vote until you are a citizen and that usually takes 4 years now.

White pages is an online telephone directory:
whitepages.com.au - Search for an Australian Business, Government or Person

If he has a business try:
http://www.yellowpages.com.au/

Karen

Thank you, I have filled in an online form with the salvation army so fingers crossed they can find him before the trail goes cold.
