US Lookup Requests / Re: alan davenport frost
« on: Friday 14 November 25 15:52 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks for the help and all the suggestions. I have tried most avenues over the years but never seem to get anywhere it is as if he did not exist. My late wife was the result of a holiday romance in 1958 her mother who was also an adoptee returned to the uk from Canada pregnant and subsequently had a private adoption the fathers name was never recorded on any paperwork.
We traced her mother 20 or so years ago and she gave us the pictures and name of Alan and the holiday romance story, everything seemed to be going well but at some point the relationship broke down and no more information was ever given.
I have found several Alan Frosts over the years in Canadian records a few who fit the age and location requirements but have never been able to get over the last hurdle and get a positive link to the images or to the DNA. The first cousin was found through myheritage dna testing and only has limited knowledge of his own fathers background and no knowledge of any connection to Canada or any Frost family in his tree. All leads via family trees are dead ends and only one good link between the 1st cousin and another 3rd cousin but again no leads in either tree.
Hopefully over time the dna will get some more matches i have shared it to all available platforms.

Thanks, I am clutching at straws a little, as if it is 'my' Alan Frost, it would make his age in the picture I posted @ 52 years old, it is hard to tell with black and white pictures, but he doesn't look that old to me, but not beyond the realms of possibility, I suppose.
Many thanks for your help. I am coming to the end of over 30 years of searching for this broken link in my family history, and I am no closer now than I was back in the days of microfilm and paper records. DNA was going to be the big help I thought, but it has really given me very little except a 1st cousin who has found it just as difficult to trace his roots as I have and no Frost relative in his tree either.
The one thing DNA has confirmed is the area he must have come from, and this is Irish, Scottish Welsh, which leads me to believe this branch of the tree was possibly a victim of the system of government policy at the time and probably had no knowledge of his own ancestors, 'Frost' possibly being a name he was either given or decided upon when he or his ancestor arrived in Canada.

the index record at ancestry gives his birth date as mentioned. he arrived 1963 in Rio de Janeiro. parents William Frost, Margaret Frost.

in the Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Immigration Cards, 1900-1965
FHL Film Number    004921080


I found this at familysearch while trying to access the record by browsing:

Image Restricted
Image access is typically determined by local laws or the custodian who has the original document.

Would anyone know if the records contain an image anywhere else , I have a subscription to ancestry and it is only the written records available there. I note myheritage has them listed but I am not a member so no idea if they have the images (photos) that were mentioned back in the past or if these have been removed from the web completely.
Would the immigration card be held anywhere else?

Thanks, that is a real shame as a picture would have been the best way for me to have either ruled it out or in.

 - Brazil immigration record gives him as 4 April 1905 - which fits with a birth registered in May (within six weeks of birth)

Hello i wondered if you still have access to this record I tried the link but it is not working for me possibly it is for members of one of the ancestry websites as it reads that the record is kept private to respect their partners.
I am looking for information and especially a picture on an Alan Frost who was the possible father of my late wife and grandfather to my children. We have taken dna and been researching many years but still not much information has appeared. We do have a couple of pictures of him so if we find a picture of Alan Davenport Frost we can either celebrate or rule him out. We do have some DNA matches in Rio so that is something.
