I was adopted in 1952. I recently found my biological mother because her name only was on my original birth certificate. We now have a great relationship and she has told me my father's name etc.
She was 16 and he was 22. She was a worker in his grandparents house through St. Clara's Orphanage. She left very soon after my home birth. The grandmother made sure my father's name was not attached to anyone. My mother never told anyone about me until I found her 6 months ago. I cannot find any death record for my father and Colorado will not allow me access to any records without immediate proof. My father would be 87. I am told through a cousin on Ancestry on my father's side (DNA Match) that he never married or had any other children. I was also told he committed suicide. This cousin is being told this by her parents also related to our great grandparents. They had a falling out and do not speak to my father's side. Do I have any recourse?
So sad. Is he alive?
