As I had never known my biological father and had found out he had died aged 55 in 1969, I still wondered about him and wondered if he had siblings or other children. So now I had a computer I started searching. It was very complicated but I kept going and got documents and fisch type papers from New Zealand. Some looked like exray type paper. One day I was looking through some sent to me from the New Zealand army and managed to see with a magnified glass the name of Lois Wilson sister on it. So I started searching for her. It took about a year of searching and the times I would phone New Zealand and say are you my Aunty Lois., to be told no. Then one day I got an email from someone in New Zealand who saw my search posts and he put me onto her in Wangarei in New Zealand. I phoned her and it was her. I was so excited and found I had a Aunty Lorna who was a distant cousin also in her late 70s. Aunty Lois was turning 80 in 1997. So Aunty Lorna helped me to fly to New Zealand to meet her as a surprise .
