Re: ITALIAN POW -WWII- looking for son

Thanks for the reply. No I have not made any progress. I stopped searching as it seem impossible. Only information I have is Well Pond Green as I mentioned. All I remember is my father saying it was a private estate where they were held as prisoner of war, and he worked as a gardener during that ...

Re: Looking for a WW2 Italian POW

Thanks for responding. The red cross gave me a list of camps where my father was. Last camp was Camp 128. His name was Giuseppe. I was hoping yours had a connection to me. Do you have any baby pictures of your father? I posted the only picture I had on this site under all my posts. Good luck to you.

Re: Unknown Father

Hello, I have been looking for my father's son that was born while he was a POW in England. Do you know your father's mother's name at all. All I know about my dad is that he was a POW, met a woman where he worked on a farm/estate. She apparently already had a husband who was at war. I have a ...

Re: Looking for POW's son from WW II- father was italain

I wanted to add to my last post about searching for the my father's son from World War II. As I understand the woman had a husband I believe, she kept my father's son and was raised by the other man (I guess her husband). When the war was over, my father went back to Italy and soon after met my ...

Looking for POW's son from WW II- father was italain

I am giving this another try. Back in February 0f 2009 I was trying to find my father's son. He was a Italian POW in World War II and captured in Africa, in Tubruk and Libya and later taken to a camp in England. He never talked about the child, but growing up there was always a photo of this child ...

Re: Looking for a WW2 Italian POW


Hi all,

We have recently found out that a family rumor of my Dad being the son of an Italian POW is true! Surprising what a DNA Genealogy test can uncover.

Sadly we have very little to go on, we know he was held in the Robertsbridge area of East Sussex & that he helped work on a farm in the area ...

Re: ITALIAN POW -WWII- looking for son

Hi Roy, I am still searching with no luck. My fathers name was Giuseppe Sciallis and the person he met and fathered a child with was named Hilda. I don't know where he was exactly on a farm, but it was in Well Pond Green, Hertfordshire I think. Seems like there are so many unanswered questions for ...

Re: 1958 SHIP RECORDS

I have an Uncle named Francesco Conidi but he is in his 80's who lives in Italy. I will ask my mother if she knows of any other Conidi from Cortale. I know Cortale is near Maida in Italy and that is where I am from.

Re: ITALIAN POW -WWII- looking for son

Hello Humbleseeker, I hope you have some luck too. I have been trying for a very long time and almost was close with help from someone in England who saw my post and was interested. It is hard to search from the United States. My father passed away about 6 years ago and as you can see from all my ...
