it wasnt all bad news, his sister was really kind and insisted that i ignore him and the rest of the family were really welcoming whats made you decide to trace him? if you dont mind me asking

i found my dad through this site, get as much detail off your mum, is he on your birth certificate?

Sallyann

Sallyann Report 10 Feb 2007 22:20

thats spooky the reason i decided to trace mine as i have a heart problem that no one else has in my family - i get married in 14 months and wondered if he wanted to come, it turned out he never told his wife about me

Sallyann

Sallyann Report 10 Feb 2007 22:23

lol, we could have the same dad my mum refuses to even speak about him, have you asked your half brother if he would mind you contacting him? another option is to post a message like you did on here but on the trying to find tab

Lucy

Lucy Report 10 Feb 2007 22:33

Sallyann

Sallyann Report 10 Feb 2007 22:34

mm,i would say the best possible way is going to be through your brother , has he always been in touch with him?

Lucy Few of us know if we have genetic problems - until we get into genealogy and start acquiring death certificates. If you want to know if you have any health problems, get yourself checked out. A heart check is probably the easiest. Everyone over 35 should have their doc have a listen and get their blood pressure checked from time to time, particularly if inclined to being heavy. Len
