Is you father likely to be alive could you estimate his birth year and do you know what year your mother was born? Do you have any brothers or sisters from the same father?

this could be him as the last i herd of my father he was in a salvation army hostel in Sydney NSW i will look into this hopefully some around that aria may have knowledge of him thanks

[Neil Todd]

Could you please let us know the answer to some of the questions please. Like your fathers likely age any other marriages he may have been in.

There is some doubt that the fellow from Wollongong area is your likely parent, so we may have been on the wrong track. You said that your father had a step father from possibly Czechoslovakia? If so then the fellow from Wollongong is NOT the right one.

Hi there,

Here is the link to RootsChat thread about "How To" and in the paragraphs is the following message which I have always understood was a message to us regular RChatters responding to requests on the Australia Board.

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=368728.0

RootsChat - Our Policy on Living Persons.

Here on RootsChat we are very concerned that the privacy and security of the living is protected. For this reason we do not allow searches for living persons. Although we fully understand you would like recent information to add to your tree, or that you may wish to make contact with birth families, relatives you lost contact with when they immigrated to Australia, missing family or friends, we are afraid we are unable to assist you.

We are very sorry for the inconvenience this causes you but we are sure you will appreciate the reasons for this.

Please See:- http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,142443.0.html

and

If you are looking for living descendants, that is fine provided you do not provide details of these living persons. If you are providing details of someone we are likely to suspect may still be living, but you know is deceased, please state this.
 
Although we are keen to help you make connections, there are times, however, when other community networks will be able to do more and this is especially so in the case of people searching for their birth parents/missing people. We suggest using Google Search will lead such searchers in the right direction.

We are sorry we are unable to help you with any searches for the living but may we wish you every success in your hunt



Cheers,  JM

Hello Brett,

Have you thought of trying to contact the Salvation Army, They may have a record of him being there which may include an age or date of birth.

Regards

Sarah

PS I have just edited you post as I am hoping that you Dad is very much alive and well.

my father would be in his late 70,s early 80.s i know nothing of my fathers family at all and from what i know the name j V masters could be V j or soem derivative like V. he was an alcoholic and was at one time in aa for alcoholics in south Australia and new south wales. from what my mother side to me there is a very good chance he is dead now.

Not sure I can help you, but the surname Masters does give me a link.
Samuel Masters born in Ireland 1820, came to Melbourne and married Marion Jenkins there 1857.
Children Stephen Jermyn Masters (1858-1944); Maud Marion Masters (1860-1935); Llewellyn Pyne Masters (1861-1902); Claud Travers Masters (1864-1926).
Stephen married Beatrice Hancock; I think there were three children of which I have slight knowledge of one.
Maud married William Vazie Langdale Simons and they moved to Wales.
Llewellyn married Nellie Mary Gaunson; I have no knowledge of whether there were children.
Claud married Georgina Macpherson Cramer; three children, of whom I have very scant information.

If this is helpful please message me and I'll send you what I have.

Hello Brett,

I am sorry but I have had to edit your father name as it against RootsChat rules to post details of living folk - can you refer to him as "J V Masters" please.

We are trying to help you and give you ideas you can try to track him down.

Here is a link to the Salvation Army of Australia, here is a contact form that you will be able to use to inquire to see if they hold any records on your father. http://salvos.org.au/contact-us/ways-to-contact-us

On your own Birth certificate it should state our father full name, age, occupation and address at the time of birth as well as other information relating to the your mothers etc Can you lets us know what details it lists as your Birth Certificate should have all the important information.

Regards

Sarah
