Hello Edith, welcome to the boards.

I can't help you personally, but just to check - were you born in Zimbabwe? Were your parents married, if so was it over there?

It might help if you say where you got the info from, just as a starting point. This might seem irrelevant to you, but every bit of info does help people when advising you.

In the meantime, have you looked at these sites?
