As stated before, ask friends, relatives etc if your mum is not very forthcoming with helping you. We all deserve to know where we come from. Also remember that there is a strong possibility that your father did not have any choice in losing contact with you. This could have been for a number of reasons. There are fathers out there desperately hoping for some kind of contact from children they have not seen for a long time. I know because my husband is in this very situation .Finally, Never give up! and good luck!

This will be terribly difficult - especially if your mother can't or won't help you by giving you his name. If you have a name but don't know if he is dead or alive, www.ancestry.co.uk (i think!) gives birth and death records, but i think you will probably have to pay.
If you have a name and a town, then get the phone books for there and ring every single surname that is the same in that town. Write down what you want to say first, be polite, short -winded and concise and leave a telephone number or email address with anyone who thinks they might be able to help.
Good luck.

Get as much info from you mum about him, his name, where he lived, his date of birth, where is family live and then you could try searching the phone book for any relatives of his or the net.
Good luck.

The obvious start is immediate family. Hospital records, birth records and other government records (possibly a divorce or real estate ownership -historical) are other good places to start.

Start with your mother. If she isn't available start with your's dad mother or even your grandmother. Also helpful would be your aunt's and your mom's friends.
You may want to talk to any of the family members from your dad and find out as much about as you can.

1. Ask your mother.
2. Check out websites such as www.geanology.com (think I spelt it right!) They're probably your best bet.
3. Try the church where your parents got married

The obvious answer would be to ask your mother - other than that, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

If your mum doesnt want to talk, maybe ask an aunt or uncle, grandparent etc if they can give you any info.
