The Common Room / Adopted Ancestor
« on: Saturday 21 October 06 18:56 BST (UK) »
Hi
Can anyone one advise me how to go about tracing an adopted ancestor?
My Grandfather was born 1905, I know his date of birth and approximate location, I have searched the bmd indexes for him with no luck, but............... I recently spoke to an aunt (one of his daughters) and she says that she has afeeling that she heard many years ago that he was adopted.
So, if he was, I have his adoptive name but no birth name, is there anyway to trace him?
Would be glad of any pointers at all.
Thanks
Anne
