Query Text:

I am searching for any family members. The earliest memories that I have is around the age of 3 or 4 years old and of a woman taking me from my home and running with me at night. I knew that she was not my mother. She was very dark skinned with greying hair and prominent teeth. The woman travelled with me a long way so I do not know which part of India that I am actually from. We went through desert as well as lush rice fields. as we were travelling she told me that my older brother had been killed by a group of men as well that my uncle had hung himself. I do not know if this was the truth or if she was trying to confuse me. I do remember having an older brother though. I also know that I am Hindu by birth. She finally arrived at her destination with me and took me into a very nice office where there were five or six men with beards and mustaches. They were all wearing white clothing and were well dressed. They all sat on chairs and spoke to the woman. Every once in awhile they would smile at me to make me feel comfortable. Something went wrong in there discussion and the woman took off with me. We had just finished crossing a bridge when a messenger boy ran after us and told the woman that she had to bring me back to the men. The woman refused and we continued on our way. That evening we stopped at a womans house that she knew to spend the night. we had fish for supper and as it was starting to get dusk the two women built a fire and sat away to talk. I was close to the fire and all of a sudden I sensed something dreadful and then I do not remember anything it is like a black spot in my mind. The next thing I remember it is morning and I am in a totally different place on a dirt road and the house we were at is no where in site. The woman was lying murdered on the road. She had been murdered by five or six men. This was in 1971 or 1972. I was then put into the care of a woman named Mariam Isodora who worked for one of Mother Teresas nurseries. Mariam took me to a convent in south india in the city of Nyatinkara. I stayed at the convent two days and then I was driven by one of the nuns to a womans house. I stayed at this womans house for about a week until a woman noticed me and started asking questions. I was moved right away from there to another house a distance away.There was an old man and a little girl that lived there. I was there a few weeks when a person selling fish noticed me and started asking questions. I was moved right away back to the first house and mariam came and picked me up there right away. Mariam then took me to a place farther away by car. The place that I was taken to had two houses where a family lived and it had walls all the way around it. I was looked after by a young couple and there parents and I never saw anyone else. I lived there for a year at least and then Mariam came and picked me up and took me to Trivandrum to a place called Holy angels convent in 1974. I lived at Holy Angels convent until april 1978 and then I went to Canada to a family that adopted me. I have three prominent identical identification marks that have been put on me probably when I was born. One mark is on the middle of my forehead and the other marks are on the calves of my legs. I desperatly want to find my family and I have tried many ways. Before sister mary died she wrote me a letter and told me that everything that I remembered was correct but to foget my past but I cannot do that. I hope that there is still some family left alive. The birthdate the nuns gave me is may 18, 1969 but mariam told me that I was older than the age the nuns gave me. I hope that by Gods help I will find my family. They used to call me Latha at the convent but I do not know my real name.
