Two pin..............some sockets have a pin sticking out. Your adapter should be flat, if you know what I mean. Or it should accept the pin. Look at Z's picture.

Genealogy / Is there a list of names of who was in Poland's Anders army? [34]
You should find a list of memorials to those who died.
This will lead you to various actions Anders forces took part in and show a time and place.
It is also a way to cross people off your list, if they have the same name.

gabby,
The person who wrote the text wants you out of their life. They do not want anymore contact with you.
That is as much as I will say. I'm sorry if it comes from someone you trusted.

I don't know what happened. For some reason the storks didn't appear. We usually have two or three nesting pairs in our village, but I never saw any sign of them this summer.

nilly,
I understand your problem now. And you do have a problem. Things might have changed in
the family, if it has been a number of years. Do you believe that the child wants to meet the father ?
You could look for a web-site, message board for the town and write something there.
I wouldn't use names if I were you.
Try something like this: Dominican father looking for ten year old daughter.
Then hope that the mother or a friend finds the post before the daughter does.

Ranj,
I take your point.
nlly,
A father doesn't just forget where his daughter is. I suspect that there is more to this.
The real father can simply contact the police.

Ranj,
Do you want your full name on the internet ? I doubt it.
When talking about living people, who are not in the media, it is protocol not to use their names.
If someone wants a trace they should do it through a private message.

According to one genealogy web-site the folk on Ellis Island didn't screw up the names and places. The names and places came from the ships manifest and were then copied.
I have no idea what the truth is.
