I am searching for my biological Dad he is called Alan Chapman and was originally from South Shields but last known living in Bournemouth he will be about 53 yrs old I have tried all other sites and h
just keep hitting brick walls any help would be greatly appreciated. Thankyou Lisa

how old r u?

[espysgirl]

I am 33, I have not seen him since I was about 5

[kitesurfer]

wow. why have you not tried to contact him before? have you tried the voting register?

[kitesurfer]

by the way the reason i ask is because i havent seen my daughter since she wa a similar age. do you remember him at all?

[espysgirl]

I can't find anything although I emailed the bournemouth echo yesterday and asked them to put a request in the paper I am in contact with his sister but she hasn't seen or heard from him for years. my mum passed away 12 years ago so never had much to go on she would never talk about him so has been difficult

[espysgirl]

yes I remember seeing him a few times and the very last time when my mum took me to say goodbye but she always told me horrid stories about him but now she has gone I would like to find out for myself I just feel the need in my heart to meet him

[kitesurfer]

hmmm. private detective can do something for 100 pounds but i have tried this before and i got an outdated address and guess what no refund! im looking for my daughter too

[kitesurfer]

horrid stories. hmmmm my parents are divorced and all i get from either side has been horrid stories from each other. what sort of profession did he work in?

[espysgirl]

that will be my very last option but hopefully the newspaper request might come up with something I have got a few numbers to call of A Chapmans in Bournemouth I am just gonna see what happens with the paper thing first I did some phone numbers last year and never came to anything so not gettin my hopes up good luck with your daughter

[espysgirl]

I don't think he worked while he was with my mum

I've heard that the Salvation Army can help people trace missing relatives so you could try them.
