Hello,

I'm looking for the below person. He was given up aged 2 but we have his birth certificate, and we are looking for a starting place but as its Scottish, its proving a little difficult.

Name: John Kennedy
Born: 29/10/1937
Place: Alan's Land Glasgow
Mother: Katherine Kennedy

That's as much information as we have.
Any help would be very much appreciated!

If you are a birth relative, you can register with the Adoption Contact Register for Scotland:

https://www.acr-scotland.org/

If, by chance, John has also registered, or if he registers in the future, looking for his birth family, you could be put in touch with each other.

There's no guarantee of contact, of course, but you might feel it worth a try.

Registration costs £20.
