Additional Info
I have had contact with Barbara, she would not help me narrow down my bio dad..Just said his name was Jack and he was a drummer, from Kentucky. DNA has lead me to believe I am looking for the name McCray or Poole, and a lot of matches in Kentucky, Still feel helpless looking at the info at times.
I don't know if he even knows I exist. He may have been around the San Louis Obispo, CA area in 1954, bio Mom was from that area. Born in Alameda CA. But must have been an agency as my two older sisters also have Alameda in their B.C.'s.
