Would anyone know how I could start to find out what happened to a German born person, who " disappeared " in the early war years possibly interned in a camp.

Hi Katie, all I know is mothers memory, and my uncles birth cert.

The man in question is named as father of my mum's half brother.

Hecter C V Rysart working in an aircraft factory 1940. My mum says he disappeared shortly after, and as he was German,I wondered if he was interred, as so many were

Would the National Archives be a good start?

Hi Katie, Derick this is Bristol !

It statas on birth cert,

Hecter Charles Valentine Rysart, Superintendant Material Control, Aircraft Production, living at Wellington Park Clifton.

My grandmother was 31 at the time so can only guess at his age.

Sorry, nearly forgot, cert says Aug 1940, and he, the father, disappeared either just before or after the baby was born.
