I took advice from you good people and wrote a very appealing letter explaining that I would like to meet but didn't want to cause embarressment etc etc. Well a week later I got a reply with a photo and some info about grandparents, even my father's name plus explanation, single mother living with her mother in a 3 child household without a father. Mum's children by a later marriage do not know about me so she wants it to remain that way. Now at 57 my search has finally almost come to an end. I say almost because I may now try to trace my father who mum hasn't had any contact with. My next message may be asking for advice on contacting dad. Thanks everyone especially Joan Allen at My Folks web site. Dave
