"Martha",
I think this is your name. You have been looking for me way back in
1995/6, I think. It was impossible to get back to you. You were born on
6th June 1969 in the Standerton Hospital. If you get back to me, I will
explain everything. Maybe 33 years are long enough in keeping a secret. |

Rozette Oosthuzen (geboorte naam)
skryf:- Ek soek al baie lank na my
biologiese moeder. Ek wil niemand se lewens ontwrig nie, maar ek soek net
antwoorde op soveel vrae. Al
wat ek van my moeder weet is dat haar naam, Anna
Oosthuizen is, en dat sy woonagtig was/is
te Odendaalsrus. Daar sal geen verwyte wees nie, net gemoedsrus en vrede.
Dalk kan my biologiese moeder dieselfde ervaar.
As enigiemand van haar weet (al is sy nie meer met ons nie) laat my
asb. weet sodat ek gemoedsrus kan ervaar.

Hi my name is Cheryl
Carl (nee' Foster), I am looking for my biological father, his name
is JIMMEY SUMMERS.
Jimmey met my mother YVONNE JOUBERT in Salisbury - Rhodesia - now
Harare /Zimbabwe around 1968 and lived in Waterfalls/Hatfield .
At that time Jimmey was in the RLI.
I was born on 20 August 1969.
My birth was registered Cheryl Joubert.
My Mother then met and married Graham Foster when I was ten months
old, and he adopted me, and was then registered as Cheryl Foster.
The last contact my Mother had with my biological father Jimmey,
was when I was about four years old, he was working in Wankie at
that time, he told my mother that he had married and had children.
Jimmey Summers has a brother too, his name is ROBIN SUMMERS.
Robin Summers was a hairdresser in Salisbury/Harare and then
Bulawayo. Their mother was
RHODA SUMMERS. My mother,
Yvonne Joubert lived with Rhoda Summers (my grandmother) for a short
while. Since then my
grandmother, Rhoda Summers has passed away.
There will always be a connection
to my biological father, I think I have a lot of his features/looks etc.
I would really like to know where I came from, as I often wonder
where my children get their looks/character/build etc.
I have known about him since 1984 and would like to end this search
as I need to get on with my life. I
would like him to know that he has 2 beautiful grandchildren, Brandon (7)
and David (5). I would desperately like to meet him one day.
21/01/2004:His full name is Andrew James Summers,
DOB 13 Nov 1949. He has a son, Andrew.
