INTERNATIONAL
AND TRACING SERVICES

This service provides assistance in locating and contacting family members in foreign countries and vice versa. International and Tracing Services also provides Holocaust Tracing for persons seeking information about relatives from Eastern Europe who lost contact during the years surrounding World War II.

Morris County serves a diverse population with many residents who have relatives living in other countries. As the population diversity continues to grow, the need for International Social Services and Tracing can be expected to increase. Recent disasters impacting entire countries has proven the value of this service. Adults and youth seeking welfare information regarding family members in impacted areas look to the Red Cross for help. American Red Cross chapters work with the International Society of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies to provide assistance.

A special emphasis with marketing has been placed on Holocaust Tracing. There is a concern that family members will forever lose an opportunity to bring understanding and closure to the events surrounding World War II if requests for tracing are not started soon. An aging population who holds the key to family history must be encouraged to share it and start the tracing process.
