Missing Persons

The Salvation Army Missing Persons program is a unique international social service. Its purpose is to help facilitate successful reunions between family members who have lost contact with each other.



Searches are conducted utilizing a variety of methods, including government offices, credit institutions, social service agencies and law-enforcement personnel.  The Salvation Army is instrumental in re-uniting thousands of families each year.  The Salvation Army reserves the right to accept, reject or to assign priority to any application based on the reason for the inquiry, the completeness of information provided and the feasibility of conducting searches.



All inquiries should be directed to the Missing Persons/Family Tracing office nearest to your place of residence.  Visit the Website to find more information about Salvation Army locations near you.  You can also contact The Salvation Army Eastern Territory Missing Persons office in West Nyack, New York.  The Missing Persons Brochure can be downloaded from the USA Eastern Territory location.
