Trying to trace Family

Dear Ruislip on line [USAF Meessage Board],

I have come across your site today & wonder if anyone reading this message may be able to help me.
I am attempting to trace my birth Father who I believe served in the US
Air Force & was stationed at West Ruislip in 1969. His name is Daniel
Merton & at the time was a P/T Instructor holding the rank of Sgt. I
understand he had been in the USAF since 1959. His family were wheat
farmers in the state of Ohio & he would be in his early 70s now. In 1969
he was decscribed as 5 feet 10 inches tall with dark brown hair & a thin face.
He & my mother Heather Millen, an English girl, were together for a short time during spring/summer 1969 & it is my understanding Daniel was aware of my impending birth but had returned to the US by the time I was born in April 1970. In June 1970 I was given up by Heather for adoption. Sadly, Heather died in 2003 aged only 55, some 10 years before I managed to trace her.
I am of course aware of the sensitivities around this sort of issue & indeed Daniel may not wish to be contacted. I would of course respect the wishes of Daniel or anyone who knew him, or indeed knows him now.

If anyone is able to help I can be contacted at : simonjohn470@gmail.com

Many thanks for reading this.

Kindest Regards
