The following came in as a comment to another posting, but I thought I would give it it’s own posting in hopes that maybe someone will be able to help this person. If the Internet is good for one thing, it is a good resource for people who are searching for a lost loved one.

My name is Amanda Lee Countryman from Sullivan County NY. I was born on July 7, 1987 in Kingston, NY. I’m looking for my 1/2 (same dad) birth sister who I believe was named Jennifer Lyn Countryman (at Birth & until toddler age). I’m a broke and cannot afford to do searches so I’m hoping this will work.
I’m pretty sure she was born August 31, 1981 in Kingston, NY at Benedictine Hospital. Her birth parents were Gary W. Countryman and a woman I only know as “Barb”. They lived together in the Kerhonkson/Accord, New York area until “Barb” broke up with Gary & left with Jennifer, then moved to Parlin, NJ.
I think Barb got married while living in the Parlin, NJ area and Gary signed Jennifer over to the new hubby and Barb had another son. Later in years, a boy was born to Deanna Schoonmaker from the same area and I heard that he is our 1/2 brother too. I heard that the boy lives in Florida with Deanna & tried to visit his dad, but it didn’t work out and he returned to Florida. Gary died September 12, 2006, but I don’t know the details.
I don’t think Gary was a part of any of their lives past the toddler stages because he suffered from alcoholism and it ruined relationships.
I am looking for Jennifer Lyn (birth name Countryman) born August 31, 1981 in Kingston, NY. Thank you for any help locating her. Please email me Amanda L. Countryman or my mom, Kristy Barnes with any info. at Monetsgardenofeden@yahoo.com or Monetsgarden@frontiernet.net
