trying to find my half brother
« on: Friday 28 August 15 00:38 BST (UK) »
Hi,

i have recently been informed by my mother that my father had a son before me, my mother tells me he would be around 24-25 years old and was named (*) at birth but most probably been changed to his mothers maiden name.

His mothers first name is believed to be (*) ,
and my fathers name is JASON TOPE (who has passed away)
please help!

Welcome to rootscaht cherieanne. I'm afraid that rootschat is a forum for searching for the deceased rather than the living, and we have a no living person policy, so you should remove the name of ou half brother. After you have made a couple more posts here, people can contact you via personal message of they are able to offer you any assistance.

As he is young have you checked for him on social media? Or voting registers?

Do you know which part of the country he was born in?

I can tell you that there is no birth registered for a D**** M*** in the approximate time frame.

The closest with the T** surname is one birth registered in 1985, and one in 1988 but neither have a mother's surname similar to what you think it is. The 1988 one has a different first name and D*** is his second name.

Does your mother know anything else about him or his mother?

Can you please private message me as I think you may be getting there..

It could be first name beginning with L*** and second name D***** and surname T**** I know the place of birth (I think) and all I know is my fathers real name and his mother may be possibly called (*) but no surname.

1988 can be correct.

Have sent you a PM. Sorry I misread your original question and thought that her surname was M****. I now see that her first name was M****.

There are a couple of possible births in the 70s and 50s with the 'non nickname' version of her first name, which might fit in with someone being of an age to be the mother of D****.

Hi cherieanne

In accordance with our 'no living people' policy, I have sent you a message with a link to a possible facebook page for the person you seek who seems to have been born in 1988.
