I am trying to learn if I have a sister or a brother in Germany or in France. My father, Albert Monroe Conley, was stin France and then in Germany following the invasion of Normandy. He was young, age 24 or 25, reddish blond hair, about 5'10" and muscular build. He was from Fresno, California to which he returned following the end of the war. We understand that he had an affair with the young daughter of a German family who owned a pub or tavern. A letter was received sometime after he returned from the War from the girl friend's mother stating that "the baby would be ok". I and my sister would like to know how to try to locate a missing sibling, possibly a boy, but we are not sure how to proceed. Can or will anyone guide me to the proper agency or data that could help us with this search? We will be eternally grateful. Thank you.
