I would like to thank the staff at ozpeopletrace for locating my daughters father for me as I have tried on my own for a number of years without success. Their kind and courteous manner about this matter was second to none. Again I say a big thank you.

Wendy Mills Victoria, Australia

Thanks to the investigators at Ozpeopletrace for your service to locate family in Australia. I am amazed at the speedy response and fair price of your service. I had reservations about contacting the service but I can assure anyone looking for people it is the place to go for help. Thank you to all at Ozpeopletrace.

My sister and I know from experience how hard it is to look for someone, we have been trying to look for family for over 30 years with no success. The information we had was very limited but even so we were constantly looking, then quite unexpectedly new information was received that led our search to Australia. We found that distance was a great barrier, even with the internet at hand.

When we realised that this was too big a project for us we decided to try and find someone to help us, that is when we contacted OZpeopletrace.

As you know it is a hard decision to make who to trust and who not to trust, but believe me we made the right decision, OZpeopletrace unbelievable as it is, found and made contact with our brother, sister and mother within two weeks.

Ozpeopletrace, what can we say, with your help, our family is now complete. We will always be grateful.

OZpeopletrace managed to find my wife's uncle on minimal information from me - a lot of that turned out to be wrong! I was kept informed on cost and progress and felt throughout that I was dealing with a professional organization. Can't recommend 'em enough!

Warren Oldroyd, Nottingham, England

My recommendation comes with gratitude to OZpeopletrace for the professional and sensitive manner in which all investigations were handled. This was my first time using such a tool as a search company and it can in itself be quite daunting. It does however take some courage and trust both of which I am glad I had when contacting OZpeopletrace.

In the light of day what more can we ask for than a good result handled with confidence, repeated communication updates, empathy for the given situation and reasonable costs. Thank you OZpeopletrace.

Dear John,

Thankyou very much for your help in the search for my birth mother. Due to health problems and now being a mother myself, I was slightly anxious to find her as my questions had multiplied. With your prompt help and truthfull time frame of 15 search days we had success. I had written a letter to her as per your suggestion and we have now had phone contact. The fee for your service was not extravagant and has been truly money well spent as the search has provided the wealth of information that I required.

With kind regards, Sarah Clery.

Attn: John Dobson

Myself and my family recently required your services to locate my half-sister who we had not seen for many years. With only a maiden name, date of birth and not much more information you were able to locate her and inform her that we wanted to make contact.

Although we are still not sure of what the outcome will be as she needs some time to decide what to do, we can now be certain that we have done everything that we can on our side to re-connect with her.

We were very grateful the many updates, via email and telephone, that we received from you during the process. Ozpeopletrace went above and beyond the call of duty because of the delicate nature of the case.

We appreciate all your efforts and we would not hesitate recommending you to others.

Thank you, Warren Angus, Sydney, Australia

Hi John,

I just wanted to thank you and your staff for all your wonderful efforts. My father contacted me last week and we had a lovely reunion.

You found him and I wrote to him and he was tickled pink. Apparently he has always known of me and I have always been in his heart.

He met me with a bunch of flowers in hand. He wants me to meet his family and is already calling himself "Dad". So there you go, much more than I could have ever expected. Thank you so much again!

All the best, Karen Adamson, Melbourne, Australia

Thank you for a very fast and efficient service. Your service is excellent. I had previously tried another private detective agency in Queensland, but after 3 weeks they were unable to find the old family friend. I contacted you and you had found the person within 3 days and at a very reasonable cost. I can strongly recommend you to anyone contemplating trying to trace a lost friend or relation.

Jim Brace, Scarborough, England

Fantastic service! I hadn't been in touch with the family with whom I had stayed in Australia for over 38 years and you found two daughters of the family in just a few hours! It is hardly possible to do the job faster than that. Communication was excellent too. I thoroughly recommend your services to anyone seeking friends or relatives in Australia.

Anthony Rickerby, Carlisle,England

Dear John,

Since having children I wanted to find and make contact with my birth mother so went through all the necessary steps to get some identifying information. I received this information but unfortunately was having no luck in tracing her since she had moved from the last known address. I then started going through the phone book, not knowing if she even still had the same name, but hoping. I was getting nowhere fast though. It was so heartbreaking to be so close yet so far. To add to my frustration I was living overseas and was only back in Australia for a few short weeks - I didn't hold out much hope. I knew I needed the help of professionals to have a chance. I found several agencies on the internet but Ozpeopletrace gave me the most peace of mind especially once I read the testimonials. I sent an email with the information I had and was stunned when the Manager made a personal call. You just couldn't have shocked me more with the priority service I received - and the personal service was extraordinary. I felt like John was a friend who really wanted to help me as soon as he could. It was so touching. My wife was due to have our second child in 4 days time so this was a highly emotional time. You can't imagine my surprise when within 48 hours of contacting Ozpeopletrace, John had not only found my birth mother but I had her new name (she had remarried so I had been wasting my time trying to find her with the old name anyway!) and I also had her contact numbers. To say that I highly recommend Ozpeopletrace above all others would not be saying anywhere near enough! You have given me such a precious gift and I will be grateful to you always.

Kind regards, Andrew M, Blackburn, Victoria

Dear Ozpeopletrace,

I wanted to thank you personally and let others know about you helping me locate a whole part of my family I had not even seen or heard of until we had a death in the family. My family in England had to locate extended family in Australia with regards to a will. The only information we had to give John and his team was very old almost two decades old! I had tried to do it all myself but I kept coming up against brick walls especially with being in different countries. Ozpeopletrace were not only able to find my family but they were able to do it quickly and they kept me informed along the way. I’m extremely happy that I found such a great agency and would highly recommend them to anyone needing to find missing persons or lost relatives. My business with them was conducted with honesty, privacy and integrity.

Thanks again,

Adam Harley, Brookline, New Hampshire, USA

Having looked around at a lot of competitors, I finally decided on using the services of OzPeopleTrace, and I am very glad I did. I would like to thank John and the team very much for the results they provided in locating my missing person. My request was handled with sensitivity and tact and the information I required was provided within 7 working days. I would not hesitate to use OzPeopleTrace in the future should I need to, and I highly recommend them to anyone needing great service and positive results.

Dear John

You were spot on with that address.Thank you for your prompt assistance.It was good to have closure, and know Mark is ok and happy. I am forever grateful!!

Penny Worrall, Watsonia, Melbourne, Victoria

Dear John,

I'm very happy to provide Ozpeopletrace with a testimonial.

I had been trying, for approximately 5 years, to find out what had happened to my grandfathers younger brother who had emigrated to Australia in the mid 1920's. Each year I had been able to add a little more to what was known about him but had finally reached a brick wall. I discovered a link to Ozpeopletrace and decided to give them a go. I was able to give John and his colleagues the details that I'd discovered and asked them to do try and find out more. Within two weeks John came back to me having located my Great-Uncle and his family. There was great excitement in hearing that my Great Uncle was still alive, he's now a hale and very active 95 year old, and my family are now really enjoying getting to know him and exchanging emails with him and several other new relatives in Queensland and New South Wales. Without Ozpeopletrace there would have been little chance of being able to progress this search any further from the UK. Thank you John and co. for your help and for finding my Great Uncle and his family!

Regards, Neil Allen, Hatfield, Hertfordshire, England

Dear John and team strong...

Just wanted to formalise my thanks to you all for achieving the result required and changing my life forever!

I had come to a frustrating halt in my search for my birth mother ( made more difficult by being on the other side of the world!) but the adoption agency in the Northern Territory recommended giving you a try. Although sceptical, you contacted me straight away and were realistic and honest in advising me on the possibilities of a successful outcome and what the search would entail and the cost. ( very reasonable) I cant believe how quickly you found her, and took away the pain and worry of how I was going to make the initial contact , if at all.

I have now had my third letter from her; we have exchanged stories and photographs and I am doing something I never dreamed possible- I am developing a real relationship with a lady who for 35years has been an imaginary figure. It has changed my life and I really cannot thank you enough.

Louise Harrison, England

Dear Mr. Dobson,

Thank you very much for finding my father. It has been incredibly great news for me and an excellent gift for my birthday that I will celebrate this week. I just can't express my joy enough and what this reunion with my father means to me. The fact that he also searched for me and is looking forward to hearing from me adds to my excitement about the chain of events that will occur.

I am very satisfied with the OZpeopletrace service and I would be more than happy to provide my testimonial for your use in promoting your tracing services.

Sincerely, Wendy Klempt, North Bay, Ontario, Canada

Hi John,

Kudo’s to Ozpeopletrace! I can’t believe it!! Without you guys and your particular genius, I would never have been reunited with my long lost friend from some 23 years ago!

After exhausting every avenue running personal searches on my own with no success trying to locate a dear friend, I threw in the towel for the past 17 years!!! I’m so glad that I decided to turn to you guys as my last big hope. I can’t believe you were successful in finding her. Now, we’ve picked up conversation and are enjoying a fantastic reunion with many laughs!!

Thank you for the great customer service you provide in re-united people!! You guys are amazing!!!

Thank you and thank you!!!

Gary Torres, Corona, California

Dear John

Kristin & myself can't thank you enough, since contact on 11th July we have visited each other in our respective homes, talked endlessly on the blower & made some emotional but rational decisions that have shocked all.

This has been quite a fairy tale in all, would probably make a lovely story, romantic anyway.

We are both extremely grateful for your efforts & expertise in locating Kristin and the expedience of your actions, there can be no value put on the outcome, we are both over the moon as if no time space was between our separation.

With full appreciation from us both, Kristin & Wayne Ovenden, South Australia
