How do I find info about my birth father?

Question

All my life, my mom has told me that he is dead...but she changes some of the details every now and then. The only thing that has stayed the same is this...they were only dating when she became pregnant with me, he was a Marine, he has two other daughters, and his mother knows about me but doesn't claim me for some odd reason. I would love to know more about him...a date of birth, date of his death, just small things like that; the only problem is that I have had the hardest time trying to find any information on him...I have always been horrid at collecting information:). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Below are some search links and suggestions.

At the Social Security Death Registry, if he has passed, you can locate both birth and death dates.

Here are some reunion registry websites.. If he or other fmaily members ever looks for you and signs up for them, then you will be reunited.

Also, these kind of websites will have additional information to help you to search.

Here are some other ways to search for someone:

1) Do a white pages search on the name, and call any and all names that come up, tell them you are doing geneology research, and did they ever live in such and such place (where ever s/he lived at some time). If the answer is no, go on to the next name. If the answer is yes, ask a few other leading questions.

2) If you know where he was at a certain period of time, or where s/he came from, you can go back to highschool yearbooks, property records, etc, and compile as much info as you can.

3) You can call people with the same last name who live in or around areas s/he has lived and again saying you are doing geneology research, ask if s/he is a relative, and go from there with whatever info you get.

4) Pay one of the people search websites to get all the info yu can in one place ... it may be worth the cost ... they have access to places easier than you do because that is what they do. Make sure it is a reputable one.

5) Post on varioius geneology and people-search forums, and someone/s may offer to help you with your search.

Hope this helps some, and good luck!

1st go to d national reg. database whereever u r from. tell them who u r. show a birth cert if possible. xplain why u r thr n wht u want. also,if possible,go w. an adult.ur mum,if not,a relative. d nat. reg. dept. has all doc. of all living n nat. persons in a country,they handle ur type of cases. also,u can look thru d net. but it's a long roundabout way.
