Hutchinson born 1944 Berkshire England. Trying to find my American Grandfather's family...don't have a name, all I know is that he was in England WW2 based at Berkshire (Reading?). He had a Son Barry born 1944. Mother and Child stayed in England when he returned home. |

If you're looking for Barry's dad's name, then the name might appear on Barry's birth certificate, or Barry might have named him on his own marriage certificate. |

Hi, Thanks but no name on his birth or marriage certificate. I know Barry's Father isn't a Hutchinson, his Mother gave him her family name. Sadly anyone with info on this have passed away and before anyone took an interest in the family tree. |

Do you know of any friends of the baby's mother who might have known her at the time of the birth? They may know the name of the person she was seeing at the time. |

Thanks, have asked all I know that knew Barry's Mother. Have to well feel I have to add her that Barry is my Father and he was told nothing about his Father until his wedding day, when my Grandma told him his Father was a twin, an American with German background. The only other info I know about his that when my Dad was 18 he was sent call up papers from america. Which my Dads step father after going to court throw in the fire. Have looked a various sites but without his name etc not sure if I can do anything, is there anywhere I could write to to see if there is any info? |

Hi Kath, thanks will give it a try, you never know. Have looked at the trace site too but think I'm a little way off this yet need his name first, oh way do people feel the need to keep everything from their family. |

In 1962-ish, the only people who were eligible for conscription were American citizens and resident aliens (i.e., green card holders). Since I doubt he was the latter, I presume his dad must have registered his birth in the USA. As you know, there's no national system of birth registration in the UK - each country has its own system, e.g., you can't send to the GRO for a Scottish cert. Well, that system was exported to the US when it was a bunch of colonies (same with Aus & Canada), and now each state (/province) does its own thing, so finding a birth is non-trivial. However, he might have also been given a Social Security Number, so that's another thing you could check on. Finally, possibly the easiest way to get out of serving might have been for Barry to renounce his citizenship, and maybe there's a list of those folks, too. Two years service in 1862 would have put him in uniform in 1964, possibly in time for the first build-up of US forces in Viet Nam. |

It seems that the father of your dad acknowledged him and wanted to bring him up. |
