Our fathers name was Terence *******. My eldest brother and I were adopted by the same family and Kevin was adopted by another family who apparently moved to scotland. I believe he joined the British Army and was posted to Germany. My brother and I are trying to find Kevin.

Hi Carrliz

Unfortunately Roots chat has a policy of NOT posting any information on Living people.

This is to protect personal details of the living , so please expect the moderators to remove your post

I suggest you try posting here http://www.missing-you.net/categories/adoptions.php which is a site designed for just this type of post

Also the Salvation Army may be able to help you .

Social media sites Facebook , Twitter are also worth investigating

I wish you all the best in your search

Hi Carrliz

Have you tried the GRO contact register?

https://www.gov.uk/adoption-records/the-adoption-contact-register

There's also a topic here

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=261434.0

Have you tried locating his adopted parents? Do they have other children?

His surname is not that common in the grand scheme of things.

As you know his name after adoption, you can apply for a copy of his adoption certificate which will have their names on it if you don't know. You can get the reference numbers required from the GRO adopted childrens index at any of the 7 locations around the country who host the index.

If you can't get to the index, send me a pm about him and I can check for you next time I'm out and about.
