(OT) but can some one help me find my brother ive never met.

[Sam F.]

seriously,i feel really weird even asking such a thing,but since the HAMB is like a magic thing i was wondering....
ive never met this guy and he's my brother,and ive been trying to hook up with him for like a long time,like many years.but we never seem to meet up...he lives in so cal, i think in the san gabriel valley area and his name is manuel furlong,he's not a hot rodder(i think)ive looked for him and id really like to talk with him,,,but all i get is pay sites,,,,and i dont have the cash to search for shit that isnt there.i know he's out there ,but i cant hook up with hin,,,,,





sorry if i wasted your time,,,

later,
sam

[kustombuilder]

NO SHIT Sammy?? i did'nt know you had a long lost brother. i've never met my real father but my mom just got a court summons to appear in court because of the back child support he still owes (like 18 years worth). i guess they finely found him after being missing for nearly 30 years.he is somewhere in Arizona i think. the thing is my mother's friend of the court case worker was his cousin! i'll bet they looked REAL hard for him!!

anyway, good luck finding your bro.

Furlong? I think I would start by looking at the track, the ponies you know. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Fat Hack]

Manuel L. Furlong, age 33...a hit in Montebello, Whittier and Covina(?), California.

Another hit for just Manuel Furlong with no age given in Whittier, CA.

Use various white pages or on-line directories to track down further, but I think you'll want to look in the Whittier area....hope it helps!

[Sam F.]

wow fat hack,your like james bond! i know people who have came in contact with him,,,but its always like im chasing "elenor" +


im gonna check that out


thanks man

[Fat Hack]

I'll do some more checking for ya...I know he exists and at least lived in that area at one time...(or someone else with the same name!)...now I just gotta find some contact info for ya.

Don't hold yer breath, but I have a very good success rate with this sorta stuff!

e-mail for a Manuel Furlong: mfmf_mx2004@yahoo.com

Don't know if it's the right one...but it's worth a shot!

[Sam F.]

thanks guys!i called the covina number but got an anserwing machine and i emailed the adress that fathack left,thanks fellas..you guys rock!

[Zeke]

Nah I just cook.

[Fat Hack]

Let us know if ya find him...I know it may seem like a needle in a haystack, but these things tend to work out well if you're patient. Lots of Furlongs in California, but probabably not alot of Manuel Furlongs!

You also have to consider how he might be listed...under M, Manuel, Manny or another name if the phone is not in his name where he lives.

US Search has public records based on a person's legal name, so that may help, but getting contact info isn't free. (Although it IS usefull as a tool, since it will give names and ages along with a city for free...that helps when you know how old the person you're seeking is!)

Good luck!

[InPrimer]

might also help if you knew of birth hospital and if he has a middle name, might help eliminate others good luck

[Sam F.]

that covina number is him, his wife called back this morning,really REALLY aqward, but she was a very cool person.

i probably shouldnt have called,...i just had to know,you know...maybe he will come around, i mean i guess if i was in his shoes,id feel the same way he does.. i just wanted to say hi.


thanks for the help guys

later
sam

[Deyomatic]

I know it is none of our business, but I think he'd be happier to hear from you than he seems to be. Like you said, you've never met him, so YOU didn't do anything that should have pissed him off.
But like I said, it isn't our business, so you don't need to get into the story.
I hope it goes well for you, man. Good Luck.

[Fat Hack]

Glad you found him...family stuff can be tricky sometimes...but you made the effort and the connection has been established. If he wants to contact you, it will be easy now.

Best of luck to ya, Sam!

[Crosley]

I hope all works out for you. Family stuff can run real deep and ugly at times. Give the guy time if he has not spoken to you yet.

I had 2 uncles that never spoke to each other since 1947, one died in 2001.

A co-worker at age 41 found out from his mom a month ago his "dad" is not his bio-dad. His bio-dad was a different guy and he was killed in a 1964 accident.

His "dad" that raised him does not even know the truth!


After his search, he found his grandmother died in february 2003. She was his last known blood realitive on his bio-dad's side.

[Sam F.]

ok,he called me a lil while ago,
was really cool talking to him,just really weird, i mean,kinda hard to explain,but its cool. im just glad,
its like its not real,but it is,, we talked for a long time,it was cool.

he said he's really glad that i contacted him,and that he had been wanting to do the same,but he never could get up to it...

sorry for being so offtopic.but i feel like you guys are family,thats why i asked for the help,thanks again!

[Tman]

Very cool Sammy! I am happy for you, aint the HAMB amazing!?!?!?!!

[Zeke]

Glad to hear it Butt

[Grumpy]

Thats excellent! I'm happy for you! Long live the power of the HAMB!

[briggs&strattonChev]

hey thats really cool! Im glad this all worked out for you. Any plans to hook up with the new bro?

Good Luck

Briggs

[lownslow]

what sam ya mean we have another brother????? dude in all seriousness...i am glad the lines of communication are open....maybe you can meet when ya come out for that wedding '' if it happens ''....good for you man..............

[plan9]

right on dude, glad you guys hooked up... having family is better than anything on the planet. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Peter Pan of Chicago]

That was truly amazing. In less than 24 hours a guy finds his brother with the help of two other fellow H.A.M.B.ers'.

He also gets a ton of support from other guys, I knew I was in the right place.

Congraulations Butt Reynolds!

A tip of the hat to Fat Hack and Zeke.

Truly amazing.

[CherryBlossom]

Wow Sam! It's amazing what a lil HAMB can do, huh? Congratulations! I hope you guys stay connected http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[kustombuilder]

SHEEIT. i hardly ever even think about it. my step dad has been around as long as i can remember and as far as i;m concerned HE is my dad. that other guy was just a sperm donor.

[kustombuilder]

good news brutha. that did'nt seem too hard. glad you got to talk to him.

[atch]

i know this doesn't have much (if anything) to do with cars, but this is about the coolest thing i've heard in a long time. congrats butt.

[Rocky]

That's pretty cool, Sammy....congrats.

[andysdeuce]

Thats great Sammy!!! Good to hear he called you back. Maybe you guys can meet up some time and get to know one another a little better.

[SlowLearner]

Congratulations! All time best OT post on the HAMB! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[Sam F.]

guys, i want to say "thank you" its been a overwelming thing that i never expected, i mean,when i posted this thread,i never even thought about the outcome,,,it was just a thought that i had been thinking,i honestly never expected i would meet him/talk to him,,,he is such a cool person,i wish i could of met him along time ago,,,,,,

..honestly ,tho,ive opened some family scars i neglected to negotiate,,,but i can assure you that this is a BIG stepping stone and it will heal the wounds left open for many years,,,thanks to you guys for the help and support!!

you may not understand all the appreciation,but thank you!


later.
sam

[Sam F.]

and yes ,we have plans to hook up and and hang out already!

[Toqwik]

Congrads !! What a great story, and even a better group of friends. Is there anything a bunch of H.A.M.B. members CAN'T do ???? Scott

[Fat Hack]

Glad to hear it, Sam...years down the road, you and your brother will remember these awkward first meetings fondly as your relationship grows stronger.

Great happy ending to this story!

http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[choprods]

That is really Nice Butt'R- Good for you!!!!

[Zeke]

Butt I didn't do anything you couldn't have or probably wouldn't have done had. I just did it before you. Nothing but a thing man. I am glad that you guys have hooked up for certain, and hope for the best for ya both. Enjoy it. I am.

[haring]

Sam, I'm sure it took a lot of courage to ask for help on this one, and it sounds like things are really coming together. I think it's great that you made the first step, and we don't need to know any of the details of why. It's so easy to think that your family might be the only people with problems, but you can bet that no family is perfect. But there is nothing like a brother, so don't let more time go by without connecting with him.

I didn't grow up with my half-brother Mark, but we met for the first time when I was 13. That was a shock to the system and very awkward, but we really grew close over the years. He's given me great advice and loved playing the role of big brother, and I'm a better person person having met him.

I wish you the same kind of luck. And don't think for a minute that people around here don't care. They will bend over backwards to help!

ditto what slowlearner said.
