Help me fnd my father

I am your father.

krissy, look here at www.zabasearch.com

thanks
thats hun.. i tried and it keeps giving me the same address, but i drove there and they told me he didnt live there.... I should have known, it was last updated in 2001.. so.. i guess i will keep trying...thanx...

Try the election commission for that town (may be called something else--the people who run elections). Every state does it differently, so information on when he lived at that address and where he moved to (assuming he was registered to vote, which might not be the case), may or may not be public information. If he was registered and moved and registered somewhere else, the new election commission will notify the old one (or at least it's supposed to). They may be required by law to make that public. Or they may not. It's a hodgepodge. But you might try.

When I was in collections, I used to do a lot of skip tracing. If you know someone in collections, they might be able to help you.

I found some people by calling neighbors and old addresses where they had lived. Sometimes those people were stll in touch with them.

Most of the ones that were hard to find ended up being in jail. I hate to even mention it, but ... have you tried the prison system?

yeppers
i sure have and he has a record... but its from like 98 or something...so.. but, that was a good idea...

If he has a record, then the parole board would have him in the system. Undoubtedly, you need to do more research.

ragman... u help me...
well.... what if i give you his name and **** that i know... will you help me.. its very tiresome and nerve racking...

I think you'll have to do your own work.

ragman gave good advice.

some info you provided MIGHT be missing here. Can't your mom help provide some info? have you asked her?

If you contact the parole baord that info should be readily available. What effort have you made toward contact of the parole board? In what state? what was the result?

why would the parole board have him in the system? hes not on parole.. i dont understand... oh and by the way, im pregnant, so finding past medical hystory fast is a must... but thanx anyway...

my mom knows as much as i do.. but as far as she is concerned, she couldnt are less if i found him becasue he used to beat her..so.. i just dont know.. and what ifo MIGHT be missing????

There is a federal government agency that provides parent locator services (mainly for child support enforcement):

Administration for Children and Families
370 L'Enfant Promenade, S.W.
Washington, D.C. 20201

I don't want to be a downer but...what if he doesn't want to be found?

Thats very true and let me tell you, i have thought about that enough... I have thought about what i was going to say and why he didnt look for me.. but, i guess thats a bridge i have to cross when i come to it..

yeah, wondering that myself.

also, the rush to find out because you're pregnant? Well, your mom doesn't think it's that necessary.

what if he was dead?

you wouldn't have the info then either.

krissy07, you have my sympathy. I am in exactly the same situation as you. Never met or even seen a photo of my father, who also left when I was a baby. I have tried a few times over the years to look for him but to no avail. I gave up eventually.

Sorry I can't offer any advice that hasn't already been given.

Good luck.

Yeah, it might be better not to know if it's just going to be a big disappointment.

I would accually rather know if he was dead then not know anyhting at all..
