I am trying to start tracing my real parents (*)Paton born 1951 and (*) Reid born 1949.  Not sure where to start as I was adopted and have no further information to go on.  I do have the full dates of birth for them and I know that they were married in Stoneyburn, West Lothian.  They had 3 children together (*)who died in 1970, (*)who was born in 1969 and (*)who was born in 1970.

Hello, and welcome to RootsChat!

RootsChat is meant for finding ancestors, rather than living relatives.

Personal details of any people known or thought to be living will be removed, in accordance with RootsChat policy, to avoid spamming and other abuses. So people here will be able to give you general tips and hints how to proceed, but not any concrete details.

You will also find more tips here:
