I am trying to find my mother’s biological father and though it sounds strange, I have no proof of who he was except that a family member once mentioned a name of Manuel das Neves.
My granny’s name was Martha Pedersen, and my mother, Phyllis, was born on September 19, 1921, in Brakpan.
Unfortunately she died in 2006 never knowing who her real father was.
As her daughter, I am trying to put together a family heritage album and would love to fill in that blank space.
It is not my intention to offend or upset anyone with this request.
If anyone knows her story, I can be contacted at wwoo7452@bigpond.net.au
