Looking for birth father of my dad who was put up for adoption in 1958. Joan Trottier/green/proctor/tate....gave up four children for adoption, the last being my father. I'm trying to locate who his birth father could be. Joan died in 1975- ruled a suicide at first then murder in the 1990s. Joan's family do not know who the birth father could be.
I am also searching for my father's sisters, two of whom may be still alive, Gail Baxter and Kimberly Johnston are their adopted names.
