I am searching for my biological father or his family
Hello -
I am trying to locate my biological father. I have extremely limited knowledge of this man, and have only met him twice in my entire life. I am 33 years old and live in Washington state but was born in British Columbia, Canada. My mother doesn't have any of his old contact information and says that she was with him for several years. He is Sicilian, and his whole family immigrated to British Columbia but he lived also in Hawaii where he was married and had another daughter who is younger than me. I have names only... Santino Christaldi - not sure of the spelling but think that is correct. And the daughter's name is Bianca. He was quite a bit older than Mom; and she's currently 59. So I would venture a guess that this guy is in his 60's or even early 70's - hope he's still alive. We heard from him off and on throughout my teenage years but he never came around after I was 14 or so. I met his extended family that year in Richmond BC, he had Mother and I come to a family reunion. Anyhow, the last place I heard from him was in 1996, he was living in Bainbridge Island, WA. I got a letter from him trying to explain his disappearance from my life, which in my young tempermentality, I ripped up and threw out, not knowing I would want some kind of contact now. Paternity was never established but he as much as admitted everything. I just want to know about his family... I have a daughter now; and think they may want to know about her... plus I would like to know about hereditary health issues, etc.. .
Anything anyone can tell me or even pointing a direction I can go in would be much appreciated. I don't know how much luck I will have... its been a long time...
Thanks,
Jaime
