Anonymous Coward User ID: 22613968 Canada 11/12/2012 01:01 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I believe my aunt researched and said we have a small relation to Washington as well, on my mom's side at least. Dad's parents were immigrants to the United States, I don't know if I'm related to anyone well known on that side. Unfortunately that's about all I know right now, I would love to research and learn more. |

This part of the bloodline also supposedly goes back to Roman/Carolingian Emperors Charlemagne and Constantine. Also General Robert E. Lee on that side as well. Don't know as much about my Paternal Side except that two brothers, one of which was my great great great grandfather was instrumental in the Texas Revolution...

Guenwyfar User ID: 21285652 United States 11/12/2012 01:12 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm adopted as well. I do know my birth family's names but haven't looked into it at all. You still may be able to file paperwork to find out if your adoptive parents didn't know any of it. My Dad made a point to keep all of the records for me so he could pass them on if I was ever interested in them.

Its possible that its painful to think about it for some reason. Perhaps she doesn't even really know and only remembers bits and pieces. I'm not excusing what she's doing, just trying to see her side. A long long time ago when I thought I'd start to seek out my birth family I went to adoption.com's forums. They were very helpful and they may be able to suggest some avenues for you to explore to find your father. I wish you luck I do understand a bit of what you're going through and hope you're able to find peace. Sorry to thread jack.

My personal favorite is: [link to en.wikipedia.org] Loved his char in Braveheart, so I delved deeply into his history myself. I felt some sort of connection with the character, and sometimes felt the movie was about him as opposed to William Wallace... Years before discovering I had a shared lineage.
