A Few of Our Members Currently Searching Within Auckland Who Chose To Be Featured
226. MaxwellDonald : He was named Mark Anthony by his mother‚ but that may change by the new parents.
Weight 6lb 15oz
Born 79 Kelmama Ave‚ Herne Bay‚ Auckland‚ NZ.
Baby Due Xmas day. Born 13.1.67
Adoptive parents were waiting for birth and were late to move overseas. Probably teachers‚ Possibly going to Fiji or other Pacific Island.
227. SharnieR : Sefton/Scanlon/Winter- Searching for my sister Darlene Lorna Sefton on birth certificate‚ name later changed to Mary-Anne Scanlon and I think married name Winter. Born 13 Jan. 1961 in Auckland.
We share the same parents Hilda Sefton & Barry Geddes‚ I was put up for adoption at birth (Sept.1959)and I believe you were fostered out within extended family. I have been searching for you for years‚ someone said last known address was Adelaide. Can anyone help please?
229. Larnie02 : We are looking for relatives of Shirley Hudson‚ from New Zealand‚ we believe.
We were told that Shirley came to Adelaide to give birth to a child out of wedlock before she returned to NZ.
She gave the baby a name of Raewyn Hudson.
231. 94975 : My birth mother was a waitress at a hotel in the Pukekohe area‚ Auckland‚ New Zealand in the 1950s. I believe she was about 19 when she gave birth to me. I understand that she may have had an affair and thus became pregnant. She was English‚ my birth father Yugoslav.
I was born on 14 June 1956. I believe my original name was Jennifer Lynette Crowther (or Lowther).
My birth mother continued working and looking after me but finally gave me up for adoption when I was approximately 18 months old. It is understood that she met a man‚ he asked her to marry him but wanted my birth mother to give me up for adoption.
My adoptive parents were a Karl and Ailsa Grossmann. My adoptive father was Swiss‚ my adoptive mother a New Zealander. They were sharemilking at Ngarua in the late 1950s.
My adoptive parents moved to Whangarei early 1960 however my birth mother quite possibly would not have known this.
I have always wondered about my birth mother and birth father. Where are they now??? Do I have half brothers and sisters.
233. JanGordon : I am searching for my birth mother‚ Valerie Beryl Stephenson originally from Adelaide. She came to New Zealand in 1962 to have me and may have returned to Australia shortly after. I have a sister whom is approx 3 years older than me. My birth mother was a machinist at a factory back then and loved‚ dancing‚ arts and crafts and a very beautiful woman with an uncomplaining nature. She had an affair with a married man at the time‚ she came to NZ to give birth as she was not married. My father was not named on the birth certificate however he was tall‚ dark and very handsome apparently. I wish to make contact of some descript. There is a photo of me attached.
234. StartledEquiid : I am looking for the biological family of my grandfather‚ who was adopted‚ and passed away in 1977. I believe his birth mother may have been Jean Todd McIndoe‚ who came to Auckland from Dunedin for the birth. She may have later married a man with the surname Williams‚ becoming Jean Todd Williams‚ possibly living in Waihi‚ New Zealand.
237. Dappa1 : I have a half brother that I have recently been told‚ my mother gave birth in the Warkworth Birthing Hospital. Her name was Jeane Irwin Parke now deceased. The fathers name as far as I am aware was Harvey McCormack also deceased
238. StanB : National Women's Hospital‚ Auckland. I want to understand more about my situation but I want to manage this carefully to avoid hurting anyone. My adopted father is helping me. My birth mother is now about 67‚ I think it is time she heard about me.
239. Leedodd77 : I am looking for a sibling that we didn't know about until my mother's death. Her name is Vivienne Gae Steel. She was born August 24 1948. She had her baby when she was 16-17 years old so i can only guess that the birth year is 1964 or 1965. I believe the baby was a boy but I am not sure because my mother's family are refusing to help me find my sibling. We have the same mum but not the same dad
240. Northernkiwi : This is for my grandmother‚ she was born in Russel‚ I believe her first names of Ruth Evelyn may have stayed the same birth mother Pheobe Parnell‚ she was adopted by Robert & Mary Nelson
I was matched with my birth mother just minutes after setting up my profile. It turns out that she had been searching for me for years. It's been a joy to connect with her and the rest of my biological family.
