I need help with finding brother?

My father passed away and i can't get in contact with my brother. He just turned 18 and has been in a orfanage since he was about 11. I live in America so I can't go to the different places looking for him. I also found out that my brother just had a baby girl. Please help if you know a way i can locate him!!! i would love to know it!!!

my brother is in Vienna Austria. I emailed the newspapers in the Vienna area for my fathers obituary. Maybe that will help

It would help to know his name, or any particulars you might have. There is a scheme of compulsory address registration in place in Austria ("Meldepflicht"), so it might be possible to locate his address that way.

Depending where he is

One link for you to use might be how you found out he had a baby girl. Through whom did you find out? Do you know where the girl was born? Her name? This would be very helpful.

I have found that if you question Austrian public agencies, you get help (this is not necessarily true in the U.S.). So if you have some information, being able to ask about it in German (with help, if necessary) might be a good option.

Please combine this with what previous answerers told you.

You can try the Austrian online directory
