Are you or your cousin a direct male descendant of your Alan Frost? Have you submitted your y-DNA anywhere?

I went back through the thread and saw that your Alan is your wife's father, not on your side.
Don't post it, but 1) when and where was your wife born? Have you looked for anyone named Alan Frost in the area at the time? Does that help you estimate Alan's birth year? Or in Toronto in 1958? If you are in the UK, could he have been a Canadian soldier stationed there?
I'm sure you've probably asked yourself all these questions in the past 30 years, but I listed them just in case.

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 for the background. So much depends on someone in his family being curious enough about their ancestry to take a DNA test and post it. I worked with someone a year or two ago who was able to find his father's birth parents, and I know a person locally who found her birth mother a year ago and had some leads for her birth father.

I really hope you find him.
