My mother was married to a man and while he was overseas she first had my sister, by another man, last name is Ray from what we know, then she had another boy and adopted him out, so we have no idea where he is. and last but not least she had my other brother, she gave him her husbands name but we know that he was not the father. If i remember it was a ted? My brother never knew this and called me and asked if i could find his father's family. Well that was when i had to tell him that was not his natural father, I have a picture of his legal father, and i traced him and found that he died in washington. I found this out from his sisterinlaw when i found her and her husband. she told me that this man had retired from the service and moved to washington and married and has two children. I don't want people to think bad of my mother as there was lots of problems back then. They are my half siblings, and want to trace thier bio fathers, and i haven't a clue where to start. they will never know thier bio fathers history. I know the father's name of the boy that she adopted out. and he lived in okla.now deceased as my mother. My sister was taken by my grandmother and went by her married name, but was never adopted by my grandmother. and that was never her legal name. She found this out when she turned 18 and wanted to get married, she needed her birth certificate. She didn't even know that she was my sister, we thought that she was my aunt, no one in the family ever said a word till she went to find her birth certificate and it all came to light. My younger brother and i are the only 2 that actually know who our father was. I have traced his ancestors and my mothers, but my older siblings are like lost sheep. Mom is gone and there is no one to tell them who thier father is. All these years my brother thought that his name was kight and it wasn't. my mother knew this man long before they married nad he went into the navy it was mistake from the beginning as there was no common interest, they was really just friends. I have been in touch wth his real son and am waiting to hear if he would like this picture that my mom had of him. Now thats a mixed up family. kathy
