Query Text: |
I was adopted in 1964. My adoptive parents lived in Fort Beaufort (Eastern Cape) at the time. They fetched me from Queenstown adoption agency. Apparently - I was the first adopted baby in Fort Beaufort at the time (This is based on information given to me from my adoptive parents). I was christened in the Dutch Reformed Church (A request from my biological mother). The church was packed to such an extent that people stood outside the church. (This is also based on information given to me from my adoptive parents). There was also an article in the local Newspaper at some stage. I don’t know if this was when "I arrived" or if it was of the christening. I have no idea how I can go about obtaining details of my biological parents. All I know is - she was Afrikaans and he was Irish. She worked in a Post Office. The reason for my search is - I believe that - if my biological father was Irish - then I am entitled to an Irish Passport. I have no names, addresses or anything like that. I don’t know if he lived in this Country at some stage or if he was just passing through. How do I get the information I need and how do I obtain a copy of the Newspaper article that was apparently published sometime in 1964. Possibly in July 1964. The newspaper article that was published in the local paper in Fort Beaufort - way back in 1964. probably around July 1964. The article was about (apparently) the first adopted baby in the town at that stage. Can anyone help me find this article? I have since found out my biological mother's name. it is Anna Catharina Aletta Nel. She apparently stayed at the Royal Hotel in Cathcart Shortly before giving birth to me in July 1964. Can anyone please tell me what hospitals existed in Cathcart at that time? Also - how would I obtain the hospital records? I need things like her ID number and what name she put down as the father. I really would appreciate some assistance with this. thank you | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
