quick 411... (try and stick with me here.. lol) my great grandmother got pregnant by a man-- whom we do not know.. had the baby (my grandmother).. my great grandmother married a man who in turn adopted my grandmother.. .. so my great grandfather is not my "real" grandmothers father.. my grandmother has since passed (although my great grandmother is still alive and taking the sercret to her grave) my mother is now turning 50 and would like to find out if her mother's (my grandmother) real father is listed on her birth certificate.. or if there are adoption papers that list his name... we are not sure how to go about doing this.. or if they will release the papers.. my grandmother is past so we think it may be possible... does anyone have any insight on this?????

A number of things you can try: if your gmother was born in a hospital (perhaps not), call the hospital and get a copy of her birth certificate. You might have to provide the death certificate to prove she's dead, or do something else to prove you're related. I'd also call the local city government where she was married to see how to get any adoption papers. However, there may not be any answers, since things were more informal then. You know, if your great-grandmother doesn't want you to know, maybe you should respect that. And, who knows, she might not have listed the "real" father on the birth certificate, ala Anna Nicole Smith.
