Looking for this Holland Engineer

06/24/2008 5:14 AM

Hi CR4 people from Holland: I am looking for this engineer from Holland.

His grandmother from Sicily has never met him: she doesn't know his name, she only knows he's an engineer living in holland with his wife and his two children: one boy and one girl (she knows that because she has the attached picture where he was with his family).

Mrs Catena is 97 years old and she would like to meet him even if for just one time before she will die.

Tell her to call Maria De Filipi (Rome) in the Italian TV show "Ce posta per Te". She helped a lot of other people around the world.

Any idea what discipline he works in, maybe a Dutch trade association could help.

No, unfortunatelly Mrs Catena knows only He's an engineer and not the name also because it seems He took his mother's family name (His father, Mr Giuseppe Alessi, was died in Turin some times ago without any notice of this son!!!).

I just hope that some CR4 member knows him by the photo!!!

Hey guys, I heard Mr Alessi's widow: it seems that this holland guy's mother left the son after he was born and he was adopted.

I don't know who told him about Mr Giuseppe Alessi but some years ago He went in Riesi at City Hall to discover where his father lived: He learnt that He was died but his widow and two sons (Tanino and Tina) lived in Turin.

He went there and met the family, what I cannot understand is why they have his family picture but they don't remember his name...the daugher in law just told Mrs Catena that his name could be Michael/Mike.

I will try to contact them again but maybe I will not be able to get other informations....

Helping Mrs Catena to meet his grandson is only up to you my dear CR4 friends!!!

thanks to everybody who joined this forum and took to heart an old lady missing a lot his son and wishing to meet his unknown grandson.

Hi, did anybody meet this guy? Mrs Catena is now very sick and I doubt she will never meet her grandson!
