Hi Debbie

Welcome to the site!

Where are your interests of research as regards area?

Hi, Im not sure at the moment as my dad was adopted & he died 11 yrs ago aged 52, & i never knew who is real father was, i approached my grandma years ago, but she refused to talk about it & said my grandfather was my dads father & that was that, but i really want to know if there is a way of finding out any more information ?
were from Lincolnshire area

Ok well look put together as much as you know and post it in the General discussion bit and I am sure someone will help you!

I havent a clue on adoption but bet some clever person on here will have.
So stick a post on and we can have a go!

Ok ty for your kind help

Hi Debbie,
I don't know what the rules are in the UK, but here in Australia, it is possible to apply for your parent's original birth certificate. The local organisation for reuniting adopted children with their families should be able to advise you. My mum was in a similar situation.

Welcome and the best of luck,
Di
