He did not write home, He never came home again. He left behind a wife, 2 children and one on the way. Dad's brother tells me that he did write home 3 times, Twice with the money in it for us to come over, The 3rd time he sent the tickets with a note saying if she did not come this time she and us would never see him again. I am now 40 years old with a son of 22. All my life I have lived in hope that one day my dad would come for me. I am now starting to run out of hope, I have looked everywhere I can think of for dad with no luck.

He had a Height of about 5" 7 to 5" 9, Brown eyes, Was slim built with dark brown hair. He loved to go fishing. Dad if you are out there PLEASE PLEASE let me know you are alive and well. I mean you no harm. I will meet on your terms.

My dad was also known as AL, ALA, ALAN. I have been told he was in WESTON-SUPER-MARE 1967/1969.. He was then spotted in NEW YORK/BOSTON USA between Dec1979 and Jan 1980

If any one has any more information please get in touch. No matter how old or small the info might be to you it can mean alot for me.

Judith Brandriff (Sloan)

I am searching for Judith Brandriff (Sloan). She is my first cousin on my mother's side. My mum is the only person of that generation still alive and Judith is her only niece. The last address we had for her was 112 Stirling St, Dunblane, Scotland. This is where she moved to after she married a Scotsman. We think she moved from there to a place called Alva, but lost her address.

The last time we saw her was when she returned for her father's funeral about 25 years ago. My mum stopped receiving Christmas cards from her a couple of years after that. We have no real idea where she is living at the moment. She would be about 60 years of age.
