Hello,
I urgently need help to search my husbands half sister.
That's my story:
We are a German family with two grown up children.
My husband, Wolfgang Liphardt is born 1946 in Germany as a son of an
American soldier in World War II. His father is Vincent B. SCOTT from
Lafayette, Indiana. His mother was not married with his father. Vincent
SCOTT leaves Germany before my husband got born. He gave my mother-in-law
his address in Lafayette, IN, and his original dog tag with army serial
number. The address was correct, but letters got not answered.
My husband raised up as an only child in a very small family (grandmother,
mother, son) without other family members!
There was no contact between his German and his American family until
December 2009. At that time I found on the web side "Find a grave" a photo
of Vincent Scott's grave. He died 1969.
That was the begin of a new part in our life. We got contact to our
wonderful new American family. Vincent SCOTT had a lot of siblings and there
are much family members still alive. So are three sisters of Vincent alive!
The problem is, Vincent's mother died in 1927 and the 6 children where
separated in 3 families for raise up. Each one does not really know much
from the other siblings.
Now to the problem I contact you:
Vincent SCOTT had a daughter, my husbands half sister.
We have no idea how we can find her. Vincent was married and came in
divorce. In this marriage he got a daughter and all we know is her name
Allison (Alison, Alycen???). We don't know the name of his wife or the date
of their marriage. They came in divorce and he got married a second time,
but this wife (her name was Thelma, Zelma?) died even before him.
We searched in online available records without result.
Do you know a possibility for genealogical research?
We are thankful for every tip what help to find Allison.

At the moment we are on an endpoint of researches.
Who can help us to search for my husbands half sister?
I am sure Allison does not know of Wolfgang's existence. She is an only
child like he and they both will be happy get to know the other one.
My husband Wolfgang's big hope is to get known his sister and to take her
in his arms.
Thank you very much for your aid. It would be wonderful to get an answer.
If someone of you needs help by searching his German ancestors, please let
it me know!
Kind regards
Ursula Liphardt
