Details: Morro Bay, California resident Debbie Snyder Kail is searching for her long-lost fraternal twin sister, Catherine Marie "Cathy" Ferner, who she has not seen since 1951, over forty years ago. When the twins were born in 1949, Debbie was named "Cathy Helmold" and Cathy was named "Karen Helmold". When the girls were just two, their parents divorced. The two were adopted by separate families.
Debbie was able to locate a photograph of her sister from 1957. She knows that her sister was raised in Dade County, Florida by Oscar and Bettie Ferner. The couple split up in the early 1960s. They renamed Karen "Catherine Marie Ferner". No trace of her has been found.
