Troy Dunn The Locator – See pictures and video of TV personality and author Troy Dunn who will have his own show, The Locator, on the We Channel starting in September 2008.
Troy Dunn the Locator has gotten some press lately on The View, The Today Show, and Dr. Phil. The new Troy Dunn series ‘The Locator’ is about his search to reunite people looking for someone they love.
The Locator has found mothers, daughters, fathers, siblings, friends and even traces family history in detail. Troy Dunn has written books, made TV and radio appearances, all in an effort to reunite loved ones who have been seperated for some reason.
The Troy Dunn show, The Locator, on the We Channel looks heart warming and inspirational. Finally, reality TV that has a genuine purpose besides allowing people to behave badly all for the sake of entertainment.
Troy Dunn himself is an appealing person. In ‘The Locator’ he seems to truly care about the people he helps and the lives he changes for the better. I’ll be tuning in, will you?
And that’s the latest chatter about Troy Dunn The Locator.

I found my son that I had given up for adoption 3 years ago. I had been missing him for 37 years. I cannot wait to see your show.
Lots of Luck…I am sure you will help a lot of people smile who had been crying for many years.

Hi! How do you get assistance with locating missing family members?? A few months before my Mom passed(1998), she spilled a family secret. She grew up in foster care but was with the same family all of her life. I think I have tracked down 2 of her sisters but my understanding is that that there were 5 children total. Only the youngest was retrieved from foster care to live with birth mother and her father. I believe all the children had different fathers.My Mom was the oldest , I think, and I have no idea who was her birth father .I have heard rumor that he was from a wealthy family and that the birth mother, my Grandmother, worked for his father. This occurred in the mid 1930’s and the odd thing is that the birth mother kept in touch and visited all of the children until she married in the mid 1940’s and retreived her youngest child. Would love to find the missing pieces but I am stuck!!!

Greetings and Salutations!
I am a 31 year old single parent from Long Island, New York. While in family therapy at the age of 17 I was told that the man who I thought was my father (my mother’s first husband) was actually not. As years past I was able to slowly drag the story of my birth out of my mother. She eventually told me that I was the result of a three month affair that she had had while seperated from her first husband. She also told me that she never gave any information to my biological father that she was ever pregnant. So for the last ten or more years I have been searching for my father and his family. I have grown up in a broken home as an only child, always wondering what it would be like to have brothers or sisters and to have a father in my life. As a parent myself now of a beautiful three year old boy, I feel that it is even more important now that I find my missing father. Knowing that all this time he never had the chance to be part of my life, I feel he has the right to know he has a daughter and grandson. I have his full name, estimated year of birth, town that he lived in in 1975, high school he graduated from and the year he graduated (including his senior picture) and also information that he had epilepsy. Unfortunately, I have had no luck on my own through the various search outlets that I have tried. If you have any suggestions that may guide me in the right direction or would be interested in helping me directly, please let me know. It would be greatly appreciated!
Sincerely,
Kellene C.

I have just found out about the new show to debut and am looking forward to it. I have my own story to try to tell but need help finding a lost child. I was in the U S Army in Augsburg FRG in 1979 and 1980 and during this time had a girlfriend that I dated for most of 1979. Michelle and I broke it off and I did’nt hear from her until 1980 when I went to visit. Michelle was pregnant and had a new man in her life, but assured me that the baby would be taken care of. I sound like a real deadbeat when I say I do not know Michelle’s last name but I do remember my best friend’s name whom dated and I believe later married Michelles best friend. So really I’m looking for Guy Clark who was stationed at Flak Kaserne in Augsburg, FRG from 1979 until 1980 or 1981 and may have stayed in country. I know this is not much to work with but I have been trying to find Guy or Michelle for the past 15 years. Michelle did call me at the barracks when the child was born but only to say healthy baby. Please anyone who can help please give me a medium to contact you
Thank You

Hello World,
My name is Donna and I am looking for my birth parent(s). I don’t have much info on father but have much on mother. I have been through a tremendous life and have been searching for approx. 30 years for my mother, with no luck! I was an adopted infant , so the records are sealed without the biological signature, LOL.
If I could get a foot in the door, would be much appreciated
Sincerely

I am a 41 year old female who has been in search of my father for many years. There is a slight problem, I am in America and have been for 39 years and he is in Spain. My mother has only given me a handful of information to find him. My whole side of my mother’s family lives in Spain. Everyone is so ashamed of how I came about that noone speaks of “him”. I would be eternally grateful if someone could help me get started on the right track. Language barrier is a problem also. I don’t have the funds to find him, but would do all the leg work. I really would like my kids as well as mysel;f to know a little about their heritage.
Please help

I have used several locator services. Being adopted in Wyoming has been a real challenge to find any information out. They will not release my medical information either. I have found that most locator services charge up large amounts of money but can not truely show you anything they have specifically done in your case. They have no record or information exchange with me what so ever. I have used the top companies in the game and nothing. I hope you all have a chance to find who you are looking for. I pray for all of you.

I gave up my newborn daughter for adoption in 1970 thru Catholic Services in Louisville, KY. Their records are sealed tight. Has anyone had any success in getting private records like that opened? All I have is the date and name of the hospital where I delivered. The only thing they will agree to do is add a letter from me, which I sent, to the file and possibly give it to her should she ask for it. Any help would be wonderful.
Thank you,
Margaret

Hello. I surrendered my son for adoption at his birth. I was 19 years old, it was 1967, and I knew he would have a better life with a stable, mature family. Through International Locators, I found my son several years ago. Although we have communicated by a few letters, he has chosen not to meet me at this time in deference to this adoptive mother’s wishes. While understandably hurt and disappointed, I do understand. The reality is that he was given the life I had prayed for, so it is a mixed blessing that he is so considerate of his Mom’s feelings. I don’t consider myself his “real” mother but his birthmother. However he is, without a doubt, my son. I would urge you to follow your dream to locate your families. Just be prepared for whatever awaits – it may or may not be a fairy tale ending. The important thing is that you know your child is healthy and happy. Good Luck!

I’m 34 and I’m looking for my dad. His name is Ernest Santiago. I recently lost my wallet and my id social security card were in my wallet. I went to the social security adminstration. Were I answered a few questions. I was then asked to step aside and placed into a room. Some type of goverment agent then came in and explained to me that identy theft was a serious crime and since I had no id there was no way to prove who I was. After about 3 hours in this room the social security admistration agent came in and said they verified who I was and they were sorry. So I went through the paper work and was ready to leave, I had asked were there that many anthony rodriguez’s born on my date of birth he said no. But I was not born anthony rodriguez and that I had a different father than I knew. Well I need help finding him and his name is Ernest Santiago. I don’t have any other info but I was born in 1974 in brooklyn new york and if there is anything that I can do to locate him please help..

I have two daughters ages 43 and 40 that I have not seen for thirty years. I believe they are in Wisconsin, but do not know for sure where they are and if they would want to see me. They were adopted by their step father after their mother and I divorced and I do not know how they feel about their biological father.
Your suggestions and assistance will be appreciated.
Thank you……

My name is Marissa Macina, I am 21 years old and have been wanting to look for my birthmother for a while now. I don’t know much about my birth family because my adopton papers were destroyed in a fire some years back. I was born February 15, 1987 in Beacon, NY. I currently live in Rockland County, NY and have no idea where or how to start this seemingly impossible search. If anyone could help me I would greatly appreciate it
I also have a boyfriend, Filip Schloss, who is also adopted. He as well is looking for his birthmother. He was born April 27, 1987 in Hobbins, NM. He has had a hard life with his adoptive family and has never really felt like he was a part of the family. He is trying to find where he came from and is hoping to open another door in his life. His older brother is adopted as well and they feel as though they were never accepted in their family throughout their lives.
We would greatly appreciate anyone who is willing to help us. As some of you know, you always feel as though your life isn’t complete until you know where you came from. I have lived 21 years of my life wondering who I look like and what my birthmother looks like. I have so many unanswered questions that I would like answered and an emptyness in my heart that could only be fulfilled by finding my past. Thank you for your time.

Dear Troy,
I was born 1/27/1951. I was adopted when I was 2 weeks old in La Grange, Texas. I tried in 1991 to open my adoption records but the judge denied access. I do not have any information other than I was born in La Grange. My adopted parents are both deseased. They never had any information. Dr. Dittman their family doctor arranged the adoption. My adoptive parents were from San Antonio, Texas. I would like to find out where my real parents are and what are their names.
Sincerely,
Iris

Troy, Nine years ago my brother Bobby Stump went to work, in Wisner,La., and never came home. We have not heard from him during this time. The police found his work truck(Frito Lay) in Arcadia,La. The window was broken, but all of the contents were intact. I know that he had a severe gambling problem, but I don’t know if this caused his disappearance. Bobby is a Vietnam Vet, and has not been normal since he came back. We would really like to find him, before our father passes,(our dad is 87). Bobby was born Oct. 4, 1947.Please help!

Hi Troy,
Just finished watching your show. It gave me goose bumps watching all of the families being reunited with their loved ones. Congrads to you and your family/staff on what I feel will be a major hit. My name is Shannon Johnson I presently reside in Tustin, Ca.. I am originally from New Orleans, La.. My grandparents raised me, but my mother was a major part of my life, but I never knew my birth father. My mother passed in 1998 from breast cancer, grandmother in 2003 and grandfather in 2006 as an indirect result of Hurricane Katrina. Up until the time my my mom and grandparents passed I felt complete. Not needing to know or want to know who my birth father was, but now since they are gone and I am a mother of my own two beautiful daughters. I would like to know who he is (not to mention my 7 year old has been asking questions) My fathers name is Roosevelt Scott and he I believed was born in New Orleans, La.. I have no date of birth or any other info. other than he may have been a cab driver and he was a boxer that went by the name of “Cassius Scott.” I’ve tried several online companies, but to no avail. If you can direct me on other things that I may try it would be greatly appreciated.

Well, here’s one for ya! My biological father, Jack Calvin Norvell, was incarcerated in Oregon State Pententiary not long after contributing to my existence. Because he was deceased, I was able to obtain his prison records. I found his obituary in a Phoenix, AZ paper. I also found out I have a brother, Eddie, who is only 6 months older than me. Man, that Jack was a busy man! I also found out I have several siblings – like 8 or 9, some living in Arizona. I have called several of the Norvells in that state, but none are related. He is originally from Hugo, Oklahoma. I am primarily interested in health history. One nice thing about Oregon is they opened their adoption records and, yep, he is listed as my father. Any information would be helpful. Good luck to all of you.

Hi Mr. Dunn, This is a shot in the dark, but maybe you can help my nephew/ son put closure to this part of his life. My name is Maria. My lovely sister, Mindy, died almost 13 years ago of cervical cancer. She was almost 34 yrs old and left behind a wonderful 12 year old son, Beau. I began raising him at the age of 26; not knowing what the hell I was doing with my life much less how I was going to raise this boy and make sure he doesn’t grow up to be a pimple on societies ass. But we survived! He’s almost 25 yrs old and heading into the Navy this month. Here’s the dynamics of our situation. When my sister died, she never revealed to the father or our family that she had a son. My sister, his mother, was adopted in 1961 by my parents and they were never interested in getting background information on her biological parents. So basically, Beau doesn’t have any background information on who he is. Over the years, a few close friends of my sister have come forward and mentioned that she had shared with them who the father was. I do remember him and remember that he lived in the same neighborhood as our family. A few years ago, Beau, somehow got a hold of his number in TN., contacted him and even so fortunate to talk to him. But the unfortunate is that this guy didn’t want his life disrupted. We have always been a close family, but Beau has always felt a certain void in his life. I feel EVERY human has the right to know who they are. Where they get certain qualities and habits; who they look like; etc.. I feel very confident that this guy is Beau’s father. Beau has many looks and qualities of him.I have attemped to search for him through the internet & high school alumni information. Addresses are old as well as email accounts. I’m not sure when I get in contact with him how I will be able to convince him to prove his paternal relationship, but I need to at least try.I feel this is the best gift I can give my son and I’m not really sure where to turn from here. If you have any information as to where or what means in tracking this guy down, I would be greatly appreciated. Ya know, I have a hard time deciding whether I hate this guy or not. How can a human know they possibly have a child out there and then not do the right thing? I’m sure you see this all the time. Please let me know if you can help.
Thank you!!!!
September 11th, 2008 at 1:17 pm
Troy, I have known and loved your mother and her adoptive parents, Bill and Esther Schade, all of my life; as well as Arleine’s sister, Penny. I would truly like to be able to contact Arliene and Penny, as we used to be almost family and were of nearly the same ages and played together as children. It has been probably 20 or more years since I have had any contact, but would love to hear from them.
Thank you,

Hi Troy, A coworker told me of you after mentioning to her that I was adopted. I’m 46 born in Fla & understand that I may have 3 or 4 sisters. I know VERY little of my adoption history & NOTHING of my birth mother. I was adopted when I was 2 days old by a very loving mom & dad who have since passed. I was wondering how or IF you could help me. I am a single, working mother & would like to know if I have family elsewhere. As far as I know they know nothing about me. Please let me know if you can help. Sincerely Tina Corbin Pryor

I love your show and have cried at every episode. I am writing to especially thank you for televising your latest program. You had a great chat with the dad about taking responsibility and as a daughter of a father who is very similar, I really appreciate your loving interest in the daughter’s well-being. Thank you for airing a show which was not a perfect reunion. You showed that you are doing your job because you really care about the people you work for. Also thank you for showing your family. Your mom seems wonderful. Sincerely, Kirsten Resnick

Dear Troy Dunn,
I am 44 years old and I was adopted in Cleveland, Ohio when I was 1 year old. I have been searching for my Mom since….. I have tried various sites and contacted lots of individuals at adoption agencies just to run head wall into nothing but a dead end…
I could use all the help I can get. The laws in Ohio with adoption information release makes my search next to impossible.
I could really use your help.
Please consider my request.
Sincerely,
John Henderson

Hello!!
A family member told me about your show, so I had to look you up on the computer!!!
I don’t really even know where to start!! I have an older brother through my father (Michael W. Covey) that neither of us have ever met. From what I under stand, which isn’t much at all about this, my father was married to the mother and left just before she had the baby. I believe that they were married in Maryland around 1970 give or take a couple of years, then the baby was born shortly after that in Fremont, Nebraska. I believe that the mother’s name is Kay Olsen, or Olson… I really don’t know what my brother’s name is.
I have know sience I was about 6 that I have a brother. My father seems to “Forget” any information about my brother and his mother. My mom always said that she would tell me when “I grew up” however she passed away when I was 13.
I have grown up an only child, and I am now 25 with 2 beautiful little boys that need to know their uncle, and I think that my brother deserves to know that he’s got a little sister!!!
If you have ANY information for me, PLEASE EMail me, I am desprate, and don’t know of any other ideas at this point!!

I was 18 months old when my mother disappeared from a military base in Texas. I had been there by myself for two days before someone heard me crying. My father was in the army and took me to my grandparens, who raised me. I was in my fourtys when I found out I had a older brother and sister. No one has been able to find our mother or find out what has happened to her.
November 17th, 2008 at 12:08 pm
Hi Troy,
First let me praise you on how you do this. My father was given up for as a baby in 1924 and grew up with foster parents. Although they treated him well, he had a dire need to know who and where he came from. he passed aay in 1986 without ever knowing that his birth family lived within a 5 mile radius of him the whole time he was growing up. His mother made herself known to him as an aunt on the two occasions that she visited him. Whe he would ask around he would be told that they did not want to be found. His biological father I have had a hard time locating. I’ve only found out where he was born. Nothing else. But his family, I have found all over and they have taken me in with open arms. Although my grandmother and her husband, (not my biological granfather)have passed on,,, I have found their children in Cal. and two of my fathers’ cousins arre still alive in Pa. It has taken me about 6 years and now I’m in a rut finding a family bible that belonged to my grandmother. One of her husbands relatives took the family bible and it has immigration and marriage information in it. Can you give me any pointers?

I now live in Deming New Mexico. We also have a sister born DEBRA LYN BECK April 28, 1954. We have exhausted all other search teams and have come up empty pockets and no information. Both our birth parents are deceased We where all born in Colorado and adopted from Golden Colorado. Colorado has all of our records but they are locked for 100 years. We do not know if Debra remembers us because she was 5 when she was adopted September 1959 in Colorado. Is there anyway you can help us or steer us in the right direction of where to look next. Brick walls are getting real hard to bounce off of. I am disabled and would love to hopefully be reunited with Debra. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Hi Troy,
I am helpingthat you can help my daughter. I was 16 when I go pregnant with her and assumed my boyfriend at the time was her father. Howver, this tturned out to not be the case. My boss at the time was her father, but by the time my daughter was born and I realized this her father had moved away. When she was 18 months I happened to see a friend of his at a local store and asked him to pass along the message that my daughter Amanda was Erik’s cild. I do not know if that message ever got passed on. My daughter is now 18 and is pregnant. I have been looking for Erik for at least 15 years with no success and mydaughter still asks about him. Litte details such as what he was like, what he looked like, and where he could be possibly be are regular topics of conversation. I have no idea how tofind him and am praying that you may be able to help. I wish Icould heal my daughter’s pain, but I really believe the only thing that will heal her is meeting her biological father.

Hi Troy, I enquired many times in 2008 to have some help from your show to help me locate my sister from my dads 1st marriage. What I do know is that her name was Beverly Bergeron at the time of her birth. My father Frederick H Bergeron and Virginia Ruth Boland Shaw were married for about 3 years. My father and Virginia are deceased. I have so much info, but every road I have taken ends up in a dead end. I have come so close many times. I cannot explain to you how much it would mean to me if we could re-unite with her. I do know she was put up for adoption when she was 3. I do know that she was born in Glouster Ma or the Boston area. The info that I have I am sure with a little help from you would give me the opportunity to find her. I have this emptiness in my heart that is hard to explain, I try not to give up hope but it is difficult at times when all roads lead to dead ends., I even filled out a profile last year and used your search engines that you gave but to no avail did anyone from your show, office were able to help me. All I got for a response was not enough info. I practically told the entire story. PLeae, Please help me in locating my sister who I think about on a daily basis.
Sincerely,

Mr. T. Dunn I and my niece need help in finding her daughter (my great niece). My niece Joyce has had no contact with her daughter since 1-1994 (when Joyce met her grand-son) for the first time. We have all the info you might need; even her married name and husband’s name. Her mother feels Shauna is dead. I do not. Shauna is 36 years of age born 12-28-72. We also have her SS but will not print it here. Shauna’s last location was in Redding CA. We have that address if you need it. I have searched all over the internet but of NO avail. We really need a professionals HELP. My interest is for the LOVE of her mother. It is hurting more every year (emotionally). Joyce would LOVE to find out what is wrong. The thought of her daughter is on her mind every day. It starts at the beginning of the year till the end. Joyce has put out lots of money for detectives and no info has been found. We have heard how you have been able to find people when nobody else has. So PLEASE HELP US to find this young lady and son.
Sincerely,

Mr. Troy Dunn, You say on your show that peace is not found until you have put all the missing pieces together. I asked you for that help and I was turned down by you , and passed on to another service.I was not suprised because I have been passed down all my life. You were my last hope in ever finding the missing pieces so I will never find the peace that I have wanted and waited for all my life.I supose if I was an ex junkie tring to find my drug partner, or if I was looking for a lost neighbor lady you might have helped me but I was or am not.You would think after all these years rejection would be something that I am use to, but it still stings.Although you have made me realize that my hopes and dream’s will never come true, I still watch your show, and bask in the glory that the ones you find important enough to help.It does thrill me to see other’s get that emptyness they all feel get full of what they have hoped and dreamed of come true.God bless you for making that happen for them.

Dear Mr. Dunn,
My name is Starletta and I recently watched your show on reuniting families. My heart is very sad due to the fact I have NEVER met my biological father. I was lied to my entire life about who he was/is, and I am so desperate now that I know the truth to find him and try to build what I have never had the opportunity to enjoy..Being daddys little girl! I know you have many requests and I know there is not enough time in your day to make all our wishes come true! Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to possibly hearing from you! Thank you again for making dreams come true!

I have watched shows like the The Locator or different segments that have been highlighted on Dr. Phil, Oprah, and other talk shows. I’ve never been brave enough to add a post or make a comment. After watching about the young man that had been to Iraq and lost his friend and then told his mom he had to find his dad, it touched a chord that I keep trying to ignore but the older I get the more it comes to surface. I was adopted at 8 weeks old from “The Cradle” in Evanston, ILL and when I was young I seemed to make the circle and gave birth to a baby boy whom will be 30 this July. I have 2 boys 22 and nearly 25 who would like to meet their brother, and see if they have a grandmother or even a grandfather. I have looked a few times with the small amount of info I have but I havent gotten anywhere. I now haw 2 beautiful granddaughters that I think along with my boys have the right to know if there are any medical problems we should be watching out for. All the info I have to give them is the histroy I have created. T
Thanks for listening.

I saw your show the other day (5/10/09). My mother who raised me since I was a infant died in October, 2008.
She was 80 years old. I am 42 years old. My mother that gave birth to me I am trying to find for medical reasons. I do not have much to go on. I know her name was Doris Andrews. I was born 1/29/1967 at DePaul Hospital in Norfolk, Virginia. My son has a type of arthritis that is carried down from parent to child. I may be a carrier but not have the symptoms. So there is someone in my family that does and I would like to know. I would also like to know if there is anything else I need to know. Can you help me?
May 18th, 2009 at 1:05 pm
Holly Kemman is my birth mother. Please have here contact me.

Troy, I have never seen your program although I have seen previews of it. Are the people you locate family members for real, or just actors? Have you really located lost family members in real life and how do you charge for that? My son was taken from me by my then mother-in-law when he was 3. I tried to get him back. I knew he was in Georgia with his grandparents. His dad sure did not want him. My in-laws had much more clout and money than I did. They were members of a ritzy country club. So, I lost. Christmas that same year, I sent my son a large box of Christmas presents. The box came back to me (I was in California at the time) unopened. There was a letter attached. My mother-in-law told my son I was dead. Lately, I have been trying to locate him. But his name does not come up anywhere I look. I don’t know where else to look. Is there any advice you can give me on where else I might search that does not charge. Thank you so much for your time.

Perhaps you can help me. I would like to locate a gentlemen that I never personally met, but communicated with for 2 years (phone and mail), In l978 I was featured in Ebony magazines “Most Eligible Bachelorettes” section. I recieved over 500 letters from men thoughout the u.s. and Europe and only responded to one…Frikere Tolossa, from Bremen West Germany. There was no romantic interest on either part…but a very sincere friendship.
Our last conversation was in 1982 the evening he his Ph.D. from the University of Bremen, (WEst Germany). I contacted the school, but received no response. I only know that he is from Ethopia and should be between 50 and 55 years of age.
I would love to re-connect with him, and hopefully we can personally meet.
Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I asked before to have you find at least phone and/or address of a late cousin’s daughter. I know she is known in at least 3 cities in California;; Turlock, Campbell, San Jose, and maybe Madera. She probably has a cell phone, and I can’t get it. Some of the searchers I’ve tried tell me they’ve found her in these places, but want membership from me; I don’t need that , I only need this one person’s info., so don’t want to pay them for that. You were going to do a 24 hour search, but I’ve never heard back from you. Did you find anything? Cherry Morrow
September 7th, 2009 at 5:12 pm
The person I’m looking for is Honey Renee Wheelock,
guess I forgot to repeat it to you!! Her mother was my cousin, originally from here in Iowa, childhood friend, her death certificate says her mother was unknown, they had some kind of disagreement and my cousin (Beverly Jean Sessler), ran away, (from Fresno, Ca., ) no one could find her, I think she had her dau. after she left home, and apparently didn’t tell her dau. about her family. I’d like to contact this Honey Wheelock, to share some family history with her. Don’t know why her mother wouldn’t tell her about her parents. Beverly’,s mother was my mother’s sister.
Thank you. I enjoy your show!

I have been watching all the reruns again and again and cannot wait for 9 pm to see the new show tonight. Lots of luck to all on their searches.

Troy… I am Theresa Klinghammer-Sohn. You have an entry on here from a Starla Klinghammer. I know, for a fact, that I am her cousin from her biological father… My uncle was George Klinghammer of South Bend, Ind (who later moved to Denver, Colo). My father is the youngest brother of the late George Klinghammer. I read her message, and my heart dropped because I have heard about her my whole life, AND FELT THAT IT WAS WRONG TO NOT KNOWN HER… and then, to read that she hasn’t any family but her mom and children, made me want to correspond. I do hope that she can at least read this and know that she does have family… I may not be a sister or George Jr, but I hope that a 1st cousin would be 2nd best. There is so much to share. I hope that there was some way to let Starla know that I am not hard to find, and I do hope that this reaches her. And maybe, I can help her to find her brother. I do believe he is in Florida, if memory serves. And maybe she would like to know that large family that we both have… she will never be alone, again.

Hello Troy,
Your show is truly AMAZING and I am hoping that you can help our family. Many years ago I promised my mother, Gloria (Jenkins/Davis) Bryant (born Washington DC 1926) that I would help find her biological family. Unformately, life got in the way and my mother passed away (3 years ago) before fulfilling her life long dream of being reunited with any of her other family members. Her mother, Grace Elizabeth (Floyd) Davis was born in Norfolk, VA. in 1906 and I find her and her parents (dad.. Almer Floyd, mom… Emma (Warren) Floyd and 4 siblings) listed on the 1910 (Norfolk,VA) census. My grandmother Grace, (the only family member my mother had contact with over the years) died in 1953. With working full time over the years…. and raising a family… finding “time” to work on the complex puzzle I had started was difficult. Having recently retired from the University… I feel a “calling” to once again become involved in the search that I had started years ago. You and your show have renewed my faith that the mystery can and will be solved!
I have 3 letters… one which is dated 1943 to Grace from a cousin living in Norfolk, VA. in which the cousin asks Grace if she knew that her mother, Emma Warren Floyd had remarried a Mr. Dunn. I have so much more information to share with you and I know that my dream of finding my family is very complicated, but I would promise you that I would remained dedicated in helping you help our family. Being retired …. I have the time and would be grateful for your help. Thank you and God Bless you.

Hello Troy,
I have been watching your tv program since last year. As always, you leave me touched by your humane manner and how you conduct yourself when dealing these families and individuals in need.
I’ll make a long story short, about five years ago I applied for a passport and was denied one. Due to lack of data in regards to my deceased father, who was born in the state of Colorado. According to the Dept. of Homeland Security, I had to prove to them that my father lived in the US continuously in order for them to allow me to qualify for a passport.
My parents married mid to late 1940’s, I was born in Mexico, a year later, I was registered as a US citizen by my father in 1950 and came to the US and have been here ever since. My parents divorced in the early 1950’s, I had little or no contact with my father after their separation.
To finish this short story version, for 2 1/2 years I had to provide DHS documentation dating back 100 years regarding my deceased father…….it made no matter that, I have lived here all my life (legally), that I am a Vietnam Era Veteran, and that 30 years of my working career was in Law Enforcement……retired now……
I did get my passport and the wonderful experience of researching my father’s background history and meeting a half-sister living in Memphis Tn. I had never met before.
Have you ever considered doing an expanded spanish language version of your show?………I think you would do very well……
Thank You…… Roberto

Dear Tony
I was made to give a baby girl up for adoption when I was seventeen years old and I have wanted to know what has happened to the baby and who she looks like and how her life has turned out. I am now 48 years old, and I have said in contact with Christian Family Services thru the years to let them know where I am and how to contact me in case she was to ever want to find me and I just want her to know that I do know that it was in her best interest but I want her to know it wasnt because she was not wanted because she was and she is still very much on my mind and in my heart. I was told by the agency that I have no rights and they could not give me any info on her they did read a letter to me that the adoptive mother wrote close to her birthday which I believe they had stated was the last contact they had and I think it was when she was about to turn 8 or 9. I asked for a recent picture of her to see who she looked like and they stated they had no more pictures other than the one I have from when she was probably around 7 to 9 months old. Is there anyway you can help find her the only other info I have on her is they named her Suzanne. You may contact me thru my email and I will supply you with a phone number at that time. I would like to thank you in advance for your consideration.

I am trying to help my fiancee find his birth mother. The only thing we know is his birth name (got changed when he was adopted) we know his birth mothers first name, where he was born and that he had or could have a sister out there somewhere and were not sure if she is alive or not. It was a private adoption so we dont know to much, and from what i know the adpotion agency is no longer around. We kept looking and could not afford some of the prices, so that is one of the questions i had for you, is how much something like this would cost us. I would love to help my fiancee and finally give him some peace in is life so he doesnt always have to wonder the “what if’s” because those questions are killing him. If you can help or even let me know how much this would cost it is something that i would truly greatly appreaciate. We both would. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.
