Get a lawyer. If she was adopted you will need one.

If she is dead, check the death records at the county court house.

There is that one where you get the postcards in the mail from. Try them. missing people something, or something missing people, or people search or something. You'll have to pay for someone to dig up the info.

You can check AMWs website I think they have someone or might be connected in some way with something that might be able to help you.
