There's a chance you can find them through www.Ancestry.com , You'd have to pay for it.  There is also a chance, depending on where and when they were born and died that you can obtain them through the town hall in the city where they were born.

You could try to Google it or get on line in one of those name check websites. Sometimes you can get lucky there.\nI wish you luck!

Of course you can look for some clues over at  the Birth Registry centre. I don't what do you guys called for the registry centre that registers newly born babies' names. Go there and seek help! Since you've yout dad's name, why not try to post FREE advertisements online and photocopy a stack of info and paste them on the streets or lamposts. Hope someone knows and can help you.

Ask your GP's who their parents and grandparents were. get as many names and dates as you can - birth, marriage and death dates, BMD places, maiden names, siblings. Th epaper records will always be here. Your grandparents will not.\n\nThe rest of this is a text file I save and paste for your convenience and mine. I don't have to type it again and you don't have to plow through 47 resolved questions to find it.\n\nGenealogy is a fascinating hobby, but it usually takes more time than most young people are willing to spend. A good family tree takes more time than a term paper, and involves more research. You don't need a college degree to do genealogy, just common sense and patience.\n\nGenealogy is the most popular hobby on the Internet for people over 40. As an example, Cyndi's List (link 1) is a web site with nothing but links to other genealogy sites. She has over 250,000 links.\n\nThe next two links are to the two largest free data bases on the Internet. Family Search (familysearch.com) is run by the LDS Church - the Mormons. RootsWeb World Connect (worldconnect.genealogy) is a collection of genealogical data that other genealogists have uploaded. \n\nTry your two surnames in each data base - your father's surname and your mother's maiden surname. That will give you a feel for how much research has been done on those two surnames. Even better, if you can, call your grandparents and ask what THEIR grandparent's names were - maiden name for the ladies. Their birth day and birth state will help too. Those 16 people are your great-great grandparents. \n\nMost Yahoo! users are 20, give or take 10 years. Most people have children between the ages of 20 and 40, which averages to 30 years per generation. So, if you were born 20 years ago, your mother and father were born 50 years ago, your four grandparents were born 80 years ago, your eight great-grandparents were born 110 years ago and your sixteen great-great grandparents were born 140 years ago. (Those are averages; your results will vary.) If you can get the names of all 16 of your great-great grandparents, you should be able to find at least one or two by name in one of the data bases. You won't find yourself or your parents, because genealogy sites hide dates and details - usually even given names - for people born after 1920. The SSDI (Social Security Death Index) is an exception. It will have people born any time, so long as they have died. \n\nLink 4 (superpages) is a web-based phone book. It will tell you how many people with your surname have listed phone numbers in the US.\n\nLink 5 (begingen.html) is a page on my web site with some hints for beginners. One of the pages is "How to Start". There are also liks to larger, more comprehensive beginner's guides.

You can try a file called Zabasearch, however be forewarned, that you might run into a brick wall.  Your mother may prefer not to be found for any number of reasons and you may search for years.  Your best bet would be to start with where you were born if you can find that out, however with birth and adoption laws, you might strike out there.  \nIf you know her last name and if she married since you were born, it might help.  \nI wish you much luck, as it has to be hard to go through life not knowing who brought you into the world and why they gave you up, but remember they may not want to see you and that is their right.\n\nBest of Luck in your search and I hope it ends happily for you.

yes....i would deffinately search for my birth parents...\ni am not adopted, but my biological father left my mum pregnant with twins (me and my sister) so i didnt even know him or anything about him...i grew up thinking that my stepdad was my real dad until i was about 7 and a half when they told us because we had to go to our real grandfathers funeral! i never realy wondered about my real father, but recently however, me and one of my good friends have been looking onto finding our birth fathers as her dad left when her mum was pregnant too!...i want to find him, but only to get like medical history and just to know a LITTLE bit about where i came from on his side and not just on mums side...so i think that if you DO want to know a bit about your birth mum then go ahead and go for it, because nothing is holding you back except yourself! and your fears of what she is really like, so dont hold back!

One thing you could do is go on to www.ancestry.com and type in his name. If he is dead, his name should appear in the social security index. I believe that part of the site is free. Also, if he is dead, it will give his last known address, etc. i am so sorry you were damaged as a child. I hope you can find peace. Best of luck.

You might try contacting the people in this organization at this e-mail address:\nbahai-library.com/forum\n\nThey might be able to trace your family name, or find someone who can.  Good luck.

Don't count on those other two posts. Nothing on either site is FREE. I have tried relentlessly to search for info such as what your looking for. Nothing free, nada, no way. Wish I could tell you different.........I did find one you could sign up for 2 yrs at 39.95. But I am again in the same place as you are: I only wanted to look up one person, so that was not for me either. Then my niece went to work for an attorney and he let her look it up for me.

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.

Your husband should have copies of the adoption papers/amended birth certificate, which would tell you where you were adopted from (agency, state, etc). Then I would contact that agency/state and see what they can tell you. There is a number on your birth certificate which correlates to a number on your original birth certificate. You will probably have to fill out paperwork stating why you are wanting this information and then hope that your birth family has filled out the same paperwork saying it is ok.  If the adoptee has made contact with the agency saying that he is wanting to be found, then the agency will make contact with you.

I am enclosing a link to pages of this name.  If you can use it by narrowing down the search with birthyear and/or state of residence, I wish you good luck!

search the web and check them for authenticity, cross-referencing them with one another. there's a lot of misinformation going around as well.
