I have been trying to find my biological father. My mother passed away when I was a teenager and I have been trying to find information on him. He and my mother were married in Pirmasens Germany and I was born in Heidelberg. They were married in 1975 and divorced in 1976. I was born in 1977. My mother told me that his name was David Henderson and they were married briefly. Someone she trusted told her he was having an affair and she left him. I'm not sure if she knew she was pregnant when she left him, but he doesn't even know I exist. I thought it would get easier as I got older, but it has gotten harder. I wonder what he's like, what he looks like, what traits I get from him, and I feel like I will never know.I am desperate to find my father and if anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated

From Pirmasens and Heidelberg I make the assumption that your father was military. So first of all do you have a birth certificate? What is your mother's nationality? When you are born overseas you have to file for a certification of birth with the State Department. This is easily gotten and would have most of the information that you need to get started. If he was military there are ways to find out the basics as well which are too numerous to list here. If you have an idea of where he is from there are things you can do as well. What I'm saying is that you need to give more details. I went through this and it turned out worth it.

It is so good to see someone looking for their mother. I am a mother trying to find her daughter. I love her so much and would do anything to see her and tell her. Look in the court house where the last time you knew of her and see if there are any public records. Look in the phone book, or call the information and ask for her name. Did you know any of her family, a brother maybe? I would love to help. There are sites where you can put your name and age where thousands look for lost loves but I quit looking there because there were sooooooooo many of them. I placed a call out here where maybe someone might have heard of her. Her name was Deborah Janean Huff born oct 29 1974 in Kansas City Kansas and raised in kc missouri. Good luck sweetie.

No one here could tell me, but I'd like to know if my father who passed away 4 months ago knows that we're okay? And of course if he's okay too, but I really believe he is in a better place now. I really miss him.

Dang that must be crazy for you. I found out I had 2 siblings from another mother & another sibling even younger from ANOTHER mother and one sister was the same age as my other sister I grew up with. And it's just akk weird. So where was your sister all this time if you dont mind me asking? And I finally saw my real dad but he could care less about me.

so youre trying to find your husbands biological family and the bio-mother refuses to cooperate?\n\nyour information kind of all runs together and is very difficult to follow.  who was born dec 4 1970?  not the grandmother of your children, is it?  whos sister was 4 yrs old in 70?  and what does 1950 have to do with that?\n\nif you have this womans address, i suggest writing a card letting her know of your husbands dying wishes and pray for the best.   keep it simple though.\n\nyou say you respect her decision which does include the fact she told no one else.  if your family is as close as you say they are - didnt they know this stuff upfront when you first married your husband?\n\nit may be better to post a question on suggestions for how to locate long lost family members and go thru those means rather than hoping to have the specific people to respond\n\ntry this website: http://www.zabasearch.com/

Contact the country of family origin. Search libraries, county/city records of that country. \nYou may need to write if you find no information from an internet search.\nIf you know any relatives in your family country of origin, they may be able to assist.\nIt may not always be as easy as [yourfamilyname].com - Many unrelated families have the same last name, jonyboy26.

I think you need to solve your problem at home before you meet your biological father. If your stepfather treats you badly, and your mother does not care, then find someone else for help. You're still in school, so a guidance counselor, close friend, or relative may help you. Finding your father is a good idea, but are you ready for that? I think you should also learn what really happened between your parents. If he really just left, then he obviously does not care about either of you, nor is he a responsible father for leaving.

I am very into geneology.  If you contact me via my profile, I can do some looking for you (just thought I would offer).\n\nBut to answer your question, contact the court house, public records, and ask them the information that you are looking for.  Most that I have dealt with are more than willing to help you.  You will have to pay for some of the research (which is why I offered to help you with some things - I don't charge), and to get copies of records.\n\nLike I said, contact me with the information you are looking for and I will see what I can find for you.\n\n** Additional Information **\n\nJudith Chastain Ballew\nBorn: 1690, Canton, Bern, Switzerland, Switzerland*\nMarried: 1730, Goochland, VA \nDied: 1735, Goochland, VA\n\n(* Some records have her being born in France or on the voyage to the US.)\n\nHusband isn't known and there are no children listed for her.  I did find her parents name and paternal grandparents information.  Detailed information is going to be hard to come by in the US - you may have to contact people in Switzerland.\n\nIf you need more, let me know.

It sounds to me like he was messing around with your head, honey.  Unfortunately there are men like that on the internet and they are complete @$$holes.  There are good ones, too, though, so don't let this discourage you from continuing your search where you left off.\n\nMy own personal motto is "Do follow your heart, _but_ make damn sure your brain is along for the ride."  I'm not at all saying that you did anything wrong -- sometimes it can be very hard to tell indeed.  It's just that I had to learn a few hard lessons myself and so now I don't give my heart away until I've done the best job possible of making sure I don't pick up on any contradictions, evasion of questions (particularly about family or the person's past), facts/descriptions/histories that don't add up or anything else that my instincts might warn me about.\n\nGood luck to ya!

I'm in agreement with Floweringsun. You know his last name, as well as where he lives right? Look up his number, and even if you have to call 20 people with the same last name, you WILL eventually find him and get to talk to him. If you don't try, then you will find yourself holding a bag of "what if's". Even if just as a friend, it is worth the slight trouble. I have done the same to find a friend that lived in a different state all together! It IS worth it. As for words, just tell him that you are not one to take a backseat and not know how to find someone you want to find. Be the private investigator, and do your research. lol  Good luck!!

I can't even imagine what you're going through.  I wish that I could help you!  I'm sure you've tried almost everything, you might have to invest a bit of money to find him.  Sorry I'm no help love, but I truly hope and pray that you find what you are looking for.

Contact the state you live in. They might have a registery for renuon or a medical exchange program. Also ask for your records. They can lead you to the rooght places. If you know the hosiptal you were born at contact that. They too might have a registry .. Definately register and ask for your records. You might get lucky and someone forgets to black out a name or too. Then you can search for that name.\nGo to online sites and post. Search angels look up people all the time and could get a hit for it too. \n\nIn renuion now for 3 months. Myselkf so good luck

You need to have paternity test done. They won't be looking for drugs in the blood or mouth swap, and taking drugs doesn't affect the DNA results. This is the only way to determine the real father. \n\nGood Luck

Hi.. I am 62 years old and I met my dad only when I was 19. I was a product of WW2, when my dad was ,at 17, sent over to the Philippines to fight the war. Anyway, re: your question, why don't you go to www.ancestry.com or www.my family.com or leave a message there. That was where I found dozens of first and second cousins and then in 2001, my half-sis(who is all-American) found me. I also found the only surviving sis of my dad,thru the white pages..Iam sharing my story with you because I believe if you're really serious about looking for your roots, you will find them. The internet has made the world a little smaller. See, I had to be 62 before I got to finally got to the USA and meet my half-brother, who now has leukemia. Don't give up. Just keep at it. Good luck and may God bless your search.

Well, I am on the opposite end of this one. I wish I didn't know my parents, or at least had different ones. They have been nothing but a source of disappointment for me. When I was little, I used to wish that someone would come and adopt me. I think with Vega, she should be glad she had a male figure who was willing to be her father- and not worry about who the sperm donor was. If her real dad cared, he would have been there for her.
