Hi all,
Unfortunatly i never had a response from the man in question, i left quite a few messages for him but sadly nothing came back. He was 90ish years old so i expect he thought it was maybe a scam or not genuine which i understand. My friends family just wanted him to know that he was never forgotten about and is still often talked about now x Sad story and i wish it had a different outcome but never mind x

Perhaps he just doesn't want to know his birth family?

Hi

It would perhaps have been better to write rather than phone, many elderly people do not understand answerphones.

Could you pm me again with his name. I'll search the local papers to see if I can find his children or grnadchildren.

On a sadder note here's a link to the local newpaper announcements.  People in this area do tend to still put announcements in the paper.

Search for Blalenau Ffestiniog or a surname.
