My grandfather was adopted. Can I find information like what country his parents are from?

Question

... I know they don't disclose personal information, but can I just find out general information about his lineage.

Answer 1

It sounds like you'll need to get a copy of the adoption record.  Depending on the estimated year and the country and the location of the adoption, you may be able to search for the record online or find out how to get a copy.

If you have the names and approximate birth dates of his parents, we may be able to search for their information directly...

I hope that helps you get started!

Answer 2

It really depends on where your grandfather was born, what the court system laws are and how you can get his original birth records. Alot of states have the original birth records of an adoptee sealed, so you'd have to go thru the court system and court records to get it. If you need any assistance with your grandfather's lineage, please email me. I am more than willing to assist you.
