I don’t know if it’s allowed here, but i matched with some cousins on ancestry. We figured out that their cousin Robert Little must be my grandfather. They say they don’t have much contact with Bob and were unable to give me a phone number for him. Google searches for him have come up empty.

This is all the information i have, and im hoping someone can help me.

Robert little lives in Whanganui and has a son named Roderick. Roberts parents were Winifred White and Tom Little.

We’re 95 percent sure this man is my grandfather and would like to find him before it’s too late. I don’t think he knew he had a daughter, (my mother) and i want them to meet.

    That’s probably enough information to look him up in the phonebook (if the white pages still exist that is).

      Only if they have a land line…

      There are some R Little’s, but not in the Whanganui area (though they don’t necessarily live there).

      I’ll point out that anyone can order anyone else’s birth certificate (with the requirement you have to identify yourself and be recorded as having ordered it), so you could start ordering birth certificates for the people you think are the ancestors that link you and try to prove the link that way.

        I was thinking that as I wrote it… but figured “grandfather” might be old enough to still have a land line out of habit.
