How impossible does this sound?
I'm trying to trace my family as far back as I can. Unfortunately, I keep getting stuck at my great grandpa.
My grandma never knew who her father was. Her mother became pregnant during WWI (it's assumed the father was a solider) and left England in disgrace. She settled in Canada, had my grandma, and never told anyone the father's name. On the birth certificate, it's blank.
When she became old and senile, she mumbled something about 'charlie' but we don't know if that's his name for sure.
Any suggestions at all?
coming at this from known historical background.. persons who were adults during WW I would have been born ca 1900 or before. I think it is highly unlikely anyone with immediate knowledge, would still be living.
Documentation wise.. you may be able to verify grandma's birth date against documents concerning gr grandma's actual date of migration. In other words.. if grandma was actually born 5 months after gr grandma arrived, the story is backed up that she became pregnant in England. You MIGHT have the opportunity to communicate with relatives in England, whose parents (grandparents) were siblings to gr grandma, in hopes that someone knew the facts, AND the story was passed down. A huge long shot, but I have had such things come down among relatives I know.
It is NOT IMPOSSIBLE that somewhere, someone kept letters, diaries, so forth, that would have remarks that would help. I would not count on it..
Those are ways that you might get some leads. Realistically, I would not expect that to happen. Genealogists HATE closed doors.. but out of wedlock births are one instance where it does happen, and we have to accept that.
