We have found info on his father, found half brothers, cousins and just today had contact with someone on his moms side. We thought my dads full brother died when he was around 19, around 1959ish, but found out someone had contact in the late 1970s in south Africa. All efforts now focused on finding him, dead or alive. Gawd, I hope we find him alive, I would move mountains to reconnect them, they are both in their 70's now, 50 years since they last saw each other. I just can not imagine, my dad for almost his entire life did not have a family, just us, now....wow...where to start.....

Wow, that would be amazing to reconnect them after five decades. Are you using Ancestry.ca to help find your long-lost relatives?

We have used it yes but it has not directed us to any contacts, more historical information. Unfortunately, being that on my dad's mother's side, the family is from Rhodesia and most have moved to South Africa. Because of the political unrest (and that's putting it mildly what has taken place) in Rhodesia/now Zimbabwe over the last number of decades, most records are lost or have been intentially destroyed. The doors on my grandfather's side keep opening and we are finding more, mostly due to the fact he immigrated back to Europe after the war. Thankfully, this person on my grandmother's side who made contact yesterday is as motivated as we are, is in South Africa and willing to help. If we were talking about Europe, North America, I'm sure we would have found something years ago, Africa is a completely different beast.

When searching for my grandfather, it took 3 years to finalize.
