On my birth certificate it states Norma Carrick (nee Knowles) as my mother and Alan Carrick as my father. After receiving DNA test results back‚ it appears I am linked to two different families that have no connection to my parents. I have applied for adoption information from Dept. of Communities and Justice‚ awaiting a reply. My ’mother’ passed away when I was only 11 years old and aside from my sister that is 20 years my senior‚ I have no contact with any other family. I am searching for my biological parents and any siblings. I have traced by father to possibly be Harold Emanuel George from the Singleton area in NSW‚ via DNA results and other family tree searches. My mother’s side appears to be of Italian heritage. My daughter Melanie is helping with this search and will be the main contact for me. Any assistance would be appreciated.
