I see on another post adoption. That got me thinking. I found that one of our cousins did some research on our related families. She found another member of the family who was a man fathered by my grandfather(my mother's father). She met him for coffee and told him who his real father was if he did not know already. When my mother was alive she told me her father had fathered a girl out of wedlock and she later committed suicide when she was a teenager. So that is two known children my grandfather fathered out of wedlock that we know about! All this happened in the UK but people being human it could happen anywhere.

So my question is do you really want to know all the family history because some of it may cause you grief but some could cause happiness?
