Looking For my Ugandan Father Circa 1959

School of Metalliferous Mining c1955
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo


I am looking for my birth father but unfortunately have very little information and am hoping that someone who was at the college in 1959, or who have relatives that attended the college, may be able to help.

I was born in April 1960. My mother was trainee nurse at a nearby college and attended student dances where she met my father, a Ugandan mining student at Camborne mining college. Apparently he was a wonderful ballroom dancer! I was the result of their very brief affair and unfortunately as regards my father's identity we only know that he was Ugandan.

I travelled to Uganda in 2003 and was given as much assistance by the Ugandan Ministry of Education and the Ugandan Department of Mining as they were able, but without a name it has proved pretty much impossible to identify him.

If anyone has ANY information, as small or irrelevant as it may seem, please get in touch with me at amandalugg@hotmail.com

Thank you.
