Only if a paternity action was filed. Some people have informal custody agreements and don't go through the courts. In addition, some juvenile matters aren't disclosable in some states so you may not be able to find that information. Whether or not it's a public record depends on the laws in the state where you live.

The birth certificate will show whether or not you were married at the time of birth, however, a person has to have a legitimate reason for obtaning that. vital records in mosts states no longer just send one out because they received a payment. Again, most, require a form to be filled out and the question (not exactly phrased) "Why or for what purpose is this needed" is asked. If there is no legitimate reason, it usually isn't sent. Unless someone requests a marriage certificate (something they need both the bride and groom's names, birthdates) the birth certificate is the only way for someone to know, in most states. Usually, you have to be related or have a legal purpose to obtain a birth certificate. Check the county of birth for the child, vital records department to ask what is policy.

All birth records will ask for the fathers name but I don't really know of any public record that exsists for mothers only who are not married.

What "record" are you talking about?
They should be listed as the mother or father on the birth certificate.
If they have a child support order there would be court records for that.

There would be records, but unless you mean FBI files, there are no individual public records. Some birth records are public and include parents names on them.

The only way it would link them is if their name is on the Birth Certificate of the child. If it's not, Paternitay is a MUCH harder thing to prove. There are all sorts of privacy laws and such that prevent the random Joe on the street from saying "I'm so and so's dad, where can I find them?"

No not necessarily. It would be on hospital records if they were named the father. They might be named on school records if the children were in school but these are not necessarily public records

It might be listed in their FBI file (if they have one) but contrary to public belief you don't just have a big master file. You would have to know the child's name to read the birth certificate.
