*** New Book In The Works ***

Losing Margaret is a deeply personal account of loving someone through illness and facing the slow reality of losing them. It follows the quiet, often unspoken moments of grief, reflection, and the weight of what remains after loss. Written with honesty and restraint, it speaks to anyone who has had to keep going while carrying something that never really leaves.

Have You Have Been Adopted?

While researching my book I worked out many strategies to make progress in my research. One particular dead end concerned my immediate family. As a child, mum had told me I had an older “sister” who had been “stillborn”. She also told me I would have been American if she had accepted a marriage proposal from an American serviceman. * Sailing to The Moon is not yet finished. I hope to finish it and publish it in 2025. While writing Sailing to the Moon, I started looking for my “sister”. My research resulted in a paper how to do it called “You Have Been Adopted: How Can You Find Your Original Birth Certificate?”. If you click on this link, you can read and download a copy of my paper. Unfortunately, because of limits imposed in most countries on the availability of birth records, I cannot promise that you will always be able to locate your original birth record – but if you follow the steps set out in my paper, many of you will finally be able to identify your biological mother and (perhaps) your biological father.

If you were adopted after birth, you probably want to know who your biological parents were. In most cases, getting a copy of your original birth certificate will let you do this. Your original birth certificate will almost certainly identify your biological mother, and it may also identify your biological father. Your original birth certificate may contain additional details such as the addresses

of your parents and their occupations.

The Postcard From The Moon

A remarkable story uncovered from a single postcard dated August 15, 1914. John Hankin's investigation revealed the extraordinary life of the "Moon Man"— one of 14 children who earned scholarships to become a qualified teacher and hero.

"The Moon Man was one of thousands of heroes... one of 14 children who was able to finish school by getting scholarships."

Your Story Matters Too

Do you have a story about people and families that needs to be told? We want to help you share it with the world, with the same love and compassion that Margaret showed us all.
