My story goes as somewhat of a mystery or just simply a dead end.
My grand father came to Trinidad in the late 1800's.
He worked and had started a family with a woman by the name of Catherine Ferriera. The only two names of children known to me was that of my father Joseph Irvin Da Silva and Neiza Da Silva.
My father claimed that their were about 8 kids in all....but due to the depature of Joseph Da Silva sr. and the death of Ms Ferriera my father lost all connections with his family after he turned thirteen years old.
My father was born in 1908 in Trinidad and His sister Neiza was born a year later.
I would love to get information to connect the dots....My mother told me of some people living in Surinam who might be one of my father's lost sister's son and family who is married to a somewhat asian looking woman.
Surinam family names are: Peter,Ann Marie,Judy,Linda,Diane and Micaael
