I am looking for any information on the surnames Hinks, Kabanez, Ottopowski or Ottopofski in the Somerset, Wiltshire area. I was born as Tony Roger Kabanez in 1959 and was adopted at 6 weeks old, and become Colin John Sweed, I live in Southampton. i know my mother was Anna Ottopowski and maybe Pedro Kabanez was my father, I think my mother married a Ivor P.G. Hinks in 1968, and maybe i have brothers called David, Ivor, Steven and Michael Hinks and sisters Valerie and Amanda. I dont know if i am on the right path but i have come to a complete halt, can anyone help me any further.
many thanks and i hope somebody somewhere can help me.

Tony.
Please remove your e mail add & phone number.
It´s against GR rules to display them on your post.
If anyone can help you, they will either reply on this thread or send you a personal message

Tony

as wisechild said, please remove your phone number and email address from the post.


It is also very unlikely that someone with connections to those names will just happen by this pot.


Very few members actually use the Community Boards, although GR is advertising the presence much more.



You might have much more luck searching the trees to see if anyone has these names in there.


Look for the Search Trees tab in the dark green band above

Click on that

You can contact the tree owner(s) if any positives come up.


Just click on the tree owner's name and send a message through the internal system to them.

Do you have your original birth cert?

As you were registered in your father's name, HIS name will be on the cert

With such unusual names to research, you could look in the BT phone book

BUT - if you find anything, think very carefully about whether to try to make contact

Hi Tony and welcome to the boards.

You could also try looking for your possible siblings on social network sites such as Friends Reunited and Facebook.
