Hi,
My name is Eunice Carrilho and I came across this website on Google! I just love the internet:-) For some years my husband and I are looking for his biological (Greek) father in Greece. Unfortunately this has not been a success. I hope, by sending this email, we can at least tell our story and hopefully your news paper can help! We do not have much information, but we still are very enthusiastic to keep searching. My husbands father was called captain Costa or Costas as he was the captain of a ship. He sailed from Greece to the Ivory Coast, where he met my husbands mother. The started a relationship and she got pregnant. Whenever Costa(s) came to the Ivory Coast, he and my husbands mother would meet. Costa(s) wanted to take my husbands mother to Greece, but her family did not allow her to travel away and the relationship was ended. Costa(s) went to back to Greece before my husband was born. He did send money, baby food and other materials to take care of my husband. This went on for several months, but one day she did not hear from him again and did not have his address. The relationship was not a long term relationsship and they probably saw each other just a few times. He did not meet her family nor did she have any information about his family. When he left Ivory Coast he did gave her a golden necklage with a cross and once told her he is a Catholic. He left and never saw my husband, his son. My husbands mother never heard from Costa(s) again.They met round July 1976 and had a brief relationship. Costa(s) was much older than my husbands mother so it is possible he has passed away. I know we are looking for a needle in a haystack, but not looking at all will not help in finding my husbands biological father. Is there anything else we can do or anybody we can contact? Not knowing his father has been an emotional rollercoaster for my husband, but not knowing where to start your search is even more saddening. Please any information will be much apreciated. Thank you so much for your time in reading this email.
Regards,
Eunice Carrilho
