Family
Tracing Service
The
Mission of The Salvation Army Family Tracing Service is:
- To
bring about reunion between family members
- To
offer spiritual support to those persons involved
The
Purpose of the Family Tracing Service
The
Family Tracing Service aims to locate an inquirer's relative
in order that the inquirer and the person sought may make contact
for the purpose of reestablishing a close and continuing bond.
Often the newly formed ties are extended to include the re-unification
of the person sought with other members of the family besides
the inquirer. In conformity with its Mission, the Family Tracing
Service provides spiritual help to the inquirer, the person
being sought when he/she is located, and other family members
who are involved in the inquiry.
