I have thought about getting one of those DNA test things.  I have physical characteristics which seem to come through my mother's side, but are not similar to my Nan's.

Do you think that could help?

I was also thinking whether there is anyway to see what US Air Force personnel were based in places close to Coventry/Northampton around 1953.

I know - quite frustrating!  My Nan has apparently said in the past that she would take his name to the grave, so it isn't like i can approach her.

She has nieces and nephews, but i have no reason to believe they would know, if my own mother doesn't know.

Hi

Thanks for the info - it is good to know.

She doesn't - i have done a search on findmypast and have found the transcription, however it doesn't ask about the father, simply the mother's maiden name.

Thanks

Mark

Hi All

I am trying to find out who my grandfather is.  Here is the scenario:

My Nan (living) does not want to disclose any information about who he is.

My Mother (living) does not know any information aside from he was in the US Air Force based in the UK (i have deduced either in the Coventry or Northamptonshire areas) in the 1950's - as my mother was born in 1954.

I know he was mixed race (presumably the reason for the secrecy based on the time).  All my Nan's sisters have are now deceased so there is no one of her age living to ask.

Do you have any ideas on how to progress this?
