I agree Skype would be a brilliant way to "see" each other and have a live conversation. You both have so much to catch up on xx

Wow! Wonderful!
It has bought tears to my eyes!


So pleased for all concerned.

Well done everyone.

Enjoy being a "little brother" Steve.

This family get-together is going to be something special.
Meanwhile I hope that you have all got Skype

Steve received a letter from Victor (in Australia) this morning. He says he knew he had a brother ....he found out shortly before he left England in 1981 (will be interesting to find out how etc.). He said with help he had tried looking for Steve then but had no luck. A really lovely letter, phone calls, more letters and hopefully a reunion to follow! Thanks for all your help you guy's. This absolutely would not have happened without all your help guidance and support. Steve is thrilled to bits. Cupcakes has been amazing ...thank you xx lianne xx

ooops sorry forgot to say that no Rose didn't go to. It's really nice seeing the photo's ....actually we now think it looks like that's where my husband (steve's son) gets his eye shape from and my sister-in-law (one of steve's daughters) gets her very defined cheek bones from. Stuff I take for granted knowing all my family, others are less fortunate to have. sad isn't it :(. I hope you're well Wendy xxx

hi Wendy (it's lianne),

Cupcakes is on the case still ....we have no idea of when Victor went to Australia but steve's cousin thinks he went there married and had children. He knows that steve's mum died young of cancer and that it was after this that Victor moved away. Cupcakes may have found the death cert for steve's mum and we're waiting for that to come through x

I am SO pleased for you and the photos will mean a lot to Steve.

Any idea of when Victor went to Australia? Did his mum Rose goes as well?

Hey it's lianne. I spoke with Ronald (who calls himself by his middle name John) on Friday. What a lovely guy! He was very nice totals to, talked about lots of memories he has of steve's mum and brother (who moved to Australia years ago). He's sent Steve some more photo's and has spoke to him today on the phone too. You've all been so fantastic. Thanks everybody. The search continues for Victor (steve's brother).

Hi Dave. These people have been amazing since we put up this plea for help! I hope somebody who knows what they're doing helps you also. Best of luck xx

Hello

But not giving up , hope you do not either .

GOOD LUCK , Best regards

I've been reading and following this search and am really pleased for you that you have this wonderful outcome!

Fingers crossed that your call takes place this evening and you will have confirmation that these are your relations :-D

Do let us know how you get on

I haven't spoken with him this evening, his friend's left late and so he emailed me to say he'd call me tomorrow but gave me his numbers too in case I wanted to call. I will be making notes and will let you all know. thanks again so much everybody x

How exciting tonight will be. Don't forget to make notes and make sure you are all talking about the same Victor just in case Rose/Rosa had a brother Vittorio as well.

Good luck, I'm going out this evening but will be checking your thread when I get in....just in case :-D

Wooopeeeeee!!!

Great news!

Very best wishes to you and your new found family Steve.

How very exciting!

Prickles. x

He's shocked, has phoned me several times to clarify the information I told him and to confirm the photo's i sent him by text are really his mum and brother. Funny how this Ronald lives in Devon and my husband, the children and I are off on holiday to the same place in two weeks time!xx

I wonder when he moved to Australia ill see if I can find anything. I can't express how pleased I am for Steve and what a great early birthday present. X

hi Lianne

Yes you are correct, Rosa was my aunt, Joseapina was my mum, Victor who was always called by his Italian (family came from a small village in Italy between Rome and Naples) name of Vito move to Australia many years ago and I have no idea where he is if he is still alive, Rosa had other sisters, Margarita ,Anunsyada, Lucia, as well as brothers Carlos and Antonio who died last year just under 100 years old! in fact all have passed away now, i will phone you later .....

you're all so lovely and so kind to be working so hard and helping look, we can't thank you enough. One sec and I'll copy over what he says so far ......

Great news. You may not believe this but I have been working on your info since 7.30 this morning as I was convinced that we near to finding the link.

Please keep us updated. So was Victor M Worthington the right guy and was he Once Pacitti.

Wendy

Hi everybody, this is Lianne xx

I have just received an email from Ronald Dudley, son of Josephine, my birth mother's sister! He confirms he is this man (steve wrote to him at the address given for him in Devon, by Cupcakes)! He has emailed me back and forth this evening and has included photo's of Steve's birth mother and son, Victor. I will copy and past some info from the email for you all! He is ringing us this evening xx So grateful for your help everybody this is unbeleivable ! x

Hi Wendy, It was very dissappointing to hear this I must say. I'm not sure if I should ring and speak to Dawn myself but steve did send a letter to both her and her sister, paula detailing the history so surely if she'd received the letter she would have thought there was connection there even if she didn't understand that from the phonecall :-/ x

Hi Lianne, I will look at this again as so much of the info just seems to be correct. Addresses, places names and dates tie in with info that Steve has. We are either going wrong somewhere or possibly, for whatever reason, the wrong info was given by the person contacted.
