Im a 24year old female trying to locate my father. He left my mom when she was 7months pregnant and she hasn't heard from him since. All info i have is his name and surname-Johan Botha. I was told that he had dark hair and blue/gray/green eyes... They change colour according to his mood, like my eyes do as well. My mom, Dorothy aka Dot Massyn, lived in Nelspruit and that is where i was born. I assume this is where he was last seen. If anyone knows how i can make this search easier, PLEASE let me know! Thank you. Cherise
www.zabasearch.com gives 11 hits for Johan Botha, all in the United States, though. I think it only searches the US but there might be equivilent search sites elsewhere.
@Cherise,
hi cherise, this is going to sound a bit crazy, but i think i knew your mom back in the eighties in Nelspruit. unfortunately i cant help you with your search, but have often wondered what became of your mom. i was in the army stationed near Nelspruit. my name is Pierre - perhaps you could tell me where your mom is and/or what became of her life.. other than having you of course!
@pierre23,
Hi Pierre De Smit! This is Dot...... How are you?! Such a surprise!
@Cherise,
