- I am looking for my cousin, Paul Willem**. His father was Peter Willem** who was Dutch and his mother was Betty Nai**, who was Welsh. They married and went to live in Canada, where Paul and later his brother, Anthony, were born. Betty became ill with cancer in about 1959-60 and the family returned to the UK and lived with us, in my parents home in Birkenhead, until Aunty Betty's death. Peter returned to Holland alone and Paul and Anthony were brought up by my mother's (and Betty's) step-mother, Joan Nai** in Cardiff. Peter returned to the UK some years later after having married again and took Anthony back to Holland with him. Anthony was aged about 10 at that time and Paul was about 16. At that point Paul disappeared from home in Cardiff and was not heard from until many years later when his father, Peter, died in Holland and he was left a small inheritance. Anthony did manage to trace him at that time and met up with Paul somewhere in London to hand him his cheque. Paul told him that he did not want any further contact from any of his family and that was the last we heard from him. Unfortunately, Anthony, now aged 58, is suffering from Alzheimer's disease and is unable to assist me in any information regarding Paul, but I would like to trace him as I feel he needs to know about his brother's condition.

- Paul, we think about you all the time and always wonder where you are and what you are doing. You are never far from out thoughts. We know you were not treated well during your childhood, and suffered a great deal after your Mum died, but we really would love to hear from you, just to let you know we care and that we still think about you. We want you to know that your only brother is badly affected by Alzheimer's and although there is nothing anyone can do, a message from you, by post/email/whatever, would help to heal some of the wounds for everyone concerned. Just let us know you are still alive and OK. PLEASE
