Jeanette, this is the Chat board, not really the place for searches for family members.

Since your dad is likely living, you will have to be careful about what you put on the internet about him. It is not fair to discuss people in public without their knowledge, of course.

There probably is little that anyone can do to help you, unfortunately.

One thing you can do is google his name in this form:

"john q smith" www.192.com

You will get search results that show you locations (but not addresses). You may be able to tell from the age and location whether one of the people shown is likely to be him. Here -- just have a look here:

Then you can see whether you can find a match at BT on line:

Researching:
Please use the "ADD YOUR REPLY" box below to reply. Please DO NOT click "Send Message" and send a private message (unless info is about living people or otherwise sensitive). THANKS!
