Welcome to Rootschat but this isn't a forum for tracing living people and we aren't allowed to post details of living, or possibly living, people.
If anyone can help with more information then they'll have to contact you by PM (personal message)- you will need to have 3 posts before this works.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
