Hello Therese,
You responded to a post made by my sister in regards to my search for my birth father, Jack Chicoine. The information that you posted here gave me goosebumps as I have written hundreds of letters over the past 13 years to Chicoine's both in Canada and the US. I have met many lovely people but have crashed into one dead end after another. I even contacted both the Cdn. and US Armed Forces and came up dry. Let me give you the information that I have. According to my adoption papers Jack Chicoine was about 25 in 1955. I was born in the Misericordia Hospital in Edmonton, Alberta on Nov. 30, 1955. My birth mother was Annie Guckert who was 27 at the time of my birth. Jack is described as 5'9 and 185 pounds with dark hair and dark eyes. He liked football and boxing. He did office work for the US Air Force. He completed grade 12, was Roman Catholic and was of French American origin. He was born in Montana but I checked with Vital Statistics and found no record. It is also stated that his father was a garage owner in Great Falls but my sister and I scoured the records there and found nothing. Also it says that in 1955 Jack had 1 married sister.
My name at birth was Debra Frances Guckert. You responded to a post by my sister who 2 years after I was given up for adoption, was given the same name. My name now is Heidi Kirschner and I live in Kelowna, BC. You can email me at:
heidi_kirschner@hotmail.com or call me at 250-765-7638. We are currently trying to find your phone number as well although we are not sure if you live in Canada or the US. I am guessing from your post that you are in the US.
I hope that I will hear from you soon.
