Hi all im looking to find some half siblings its a bit complicated as up until last year i knew nothing about anyone but my full brother and sister. then a half sibling got in touch since then i have discovered that my father was married three times and he had 3 possibly 6 children with his first wife. one child with his second wife and then my sister, brother and me with my mother his third wife.
it was the daughter of his second wife who got in touch last year which as im sure you can imagine came as a big shock.
since then together me and my half sister have been looking for the other missing siblings.
i know the first child was born in october 1971 in germany and was named ronald francis turner. then i think the other two boys were born in 1973 in the uk in manchester. one i think was born in march and the other in december these were called joseph possibly john joseph and the other was peter with a possible second name john.all with the family name turner.
since looking through records there is a possability that there is also three girls in this family too but im not sure if they are in the same family have the same mother or same both parents.
how do i go about finding them now i have tried everything i can think of on here. facebook, genology, yearbook looking in phone books.friends reunited and now im at a loss as to what to try now. any help would be greatfully appritiated.
kind regards
tricia :-)

i have also asked family members who dont seem to be able to help at all as none of them kept in touch with this part of the family. my father died when i was 8 weeks old therefore that isnt an option i can take in locating my half siblings. :-S

-----------------------------------------

As I assume your dad divorced his first wife, ( she not sadly dying )
it is possible the children, if she remarried, she changed their surnames to her new husband's especially if she has more children.

So you need to trace a marriage in her married name, plus try also her under her maiden name, as some even if they have children revert back.
