Hello everyone, My name is Jenni Robinson and I need help finding my family. My father is Paul G Robinson (born April, 1946 in Southampton) and his parents were Ralph Bertram Robinson (born 1920 in Poland, died 1987 of Pancreatic Cancer) and Pamela Mabel (nee Thompson, born in 1922 in Kent). He has 2 younger siblings Peter (born approx. 1950) and Sarah (born approx. 1962). Ralph and Pamela married in Alexandria, Egypt. My grandparents eventually divorced and Ralph remarried a German woman who gave birth to my half uncle Mark (died 1991 of an overdose). My grandfather was an RAF Captain who eventually flew planes for Lufthansa. My Grandmother was a WREN. They eventually divorced and my Grandfather remarried a woman named Helga and had my half uncle Mark in the 1970s (he passed in the early 90s due to an overdose) I would like to find my family due to the fact that I have recently received a pretty nasty medical diagnosis and in order to work out a treatment plan I need my paternal medical history. Furthermore, since I had to cut all ties with my maternal family any contact with paternal relatives would be nice. I should mention, eight years ago I tried searching for my family on this website. I found someone who claimed to be my aunt. I wasnt in the right state of mind and I was very aggressive (my mother was dying quickly of the same diagnosis I have since received, I was her carer and her family was holding me responsible for her deterioration and eventual death, hence the reason I have cut them off. I was only 21 years old at the time and it caused me to break down mentally). There were no threats made or anything of that nature, I just mishandled everything. I have since been given reason to believe that was actually my father posing as my aunt (if you knew more about him you wouldnt be surprised) in order to gain contact with me. However, if it was really her I would like her to know that I am very sorry for my behaviour. One more thing, my father emigrated to the US in the 1970s and he made vague mentions toward my "siblings" that were born prior to his leaving the UK. Granted, he is not the most stable and honest of people so this may not be true, but, any advice on finding possible siblings would also be appreciated. I will be eternally grateful to anyone who can help me in any way. I look forward to your messages/responses. Thank you all. Sincerely, Jenni

It’s a lot of info you have posted so it’s difficult to know where to start and who you are actually looking for
Some more dates would help too
Have you tried looking in members trees to see if anyone has any of them in their tree

For reference the earlier thread which may be useful for certain info , as it names the possible current surname ( then) of the aunt. https://www.genesreunited.com.au/boards/board/living_relatives/thread/1274967
But I can't see a marriage for Sarah L to the surname given.
Jennifer can you say if you are still in contact with her?
A thread from around the same time as thread on here https://www.ancestry.com.au/boards/thread.aspx?o=0&m=545.4.1&p=topics.lostfamilyandfriends.australia
Did you follow up the link on page 3 of that thread re the probate for Herda?
