Looking for some help from anyone in Stockholm

Four On The Floor

Hi, I'm not sure if I am actually aloud to post something like this on here, but I am out of ideas, so please give me a chance.

My name is Rich, I live in British Columbia, Canada. I'm from Plymouth, UK but moved out to BC around 4 years ago.

While going through all the immigration process, it came to light that one of my parents was not actually my real parent. This had been kept a secret from me for over 30 years, and once in the open, none of the family could really remember much about the real parent, - nothing that was of any use to finding them at least. So, after 4 years of searching and help from friends of friends in various countries I finally found them in Stockholm.

Now here is my problem, firstly I don't speak Swedish, so trawling websites in Swedish is very slow going. Secondly, I found their listing in the phone book, but it has 2 different addresses and numbers, but again, not speaking Swedish makes it a little confusing to understand.

What I am hoping is that I could find somebody in Stockholm who would be prepared to help me with a few things. I can give more details via email, and proof that I am who I am and the person I'm looking for is related to me. I just want to try and get to know them, nothing more. I'm just a son looking for a lost parent and I'm 99% there.

You can find out a bit more about me, as proof I'm real on Facebook if you search my username, I have a car/hot rod related page.


I hope one of you can help, and if I've broken the forum rules by posting this, then please delete it.

Rich.
