Can you help woman find sister she has never met?
American Brooke Spaulding is desperately seeking her big sister
An American is asking for help in finding a sister who she has never met but believes lives in France.
Brooke Spaulding, 29 (pictured), said: “I discovered a letter that my sister, who must be in her 40s now, wrote to my father when I was 18, which said she had moved to France.
“The name on the letter is Caroline and the address given is in north east France.”
Florida resident Ms Spaulding said: “I believe she wants to contact her family in America as I know she has come to the US to try and find us and she has spoken to my grandfather on the phone.
“However, my father has never talked to me about it.
“I am planning a trip to Europe next year and it would be great if we could meet.”
Ms Spaulding’s father was a soldier in Vietnam and Sicily in the early 70s and his first daughter was born at that time.
Ms Spaulding accepts she does not have much to go on but said she would be grateful for any help: “I believe she would be receptive to meeting her lost family as she has reached out several times.”
