Hi, Whilst at the wedding I went to I met a guy who was adopted at birth and would really like to find his father. He has already found his mother some 10yrs ago, but sadly wasn't a happy reunion. If you can help, he would be most greatful. Here are the details: Birth Name: John Owen MAHWHINNEY/MAWHINNEY D.O.B: 16th April 1966 at Royal Women's Hospital, Melbourne. Mother: Jennifer MAHWHINNEY/MAWHINNEY b. abt 1944 Maffra. Father: Reginald or Ronald KEAR Next to the fathers name on the birth certificate it had (PMG), I'm assuming this means Post Master General? Apparently also, the father tried to contact my friend when he was 17, that was 17yrs ago. If anyone know's of the father above, could you please email me.
