I am someone confronted with all kinds of roadblocks - my mother was a foster child and knew who her biological mother was, but even her biological mother didn't know who my mother's father was. And going back on m father's side, his grandfather was a child who came to do farm work in this country and ended up staying and taking the name of the family who took him in. I made a huge mistake when I got mixed up with Ancestry, I put down the names of the people who raised my mother as my grandparents (because really, they were...). I've always been kind of jealous of people who knew who their forebears were. I would love to see you go into this...because *I* am interested.
