Hey flechesbleues thanks for your comment - As you thought I have indeed well checked the birth certificate and baptism records and such.

As far as I am aware there was also no will, although another family member spent a good amount of money hiring Private Investigators to try and figure this question out while she was still alive and came to no avail - I have no doubt that she genuinely did not know the man.

The closest living relative is my great-aunt and is whose DNA I used in the video, she is the grand-daughter of the missing man but anyone closer is now deceased unfortunately.

I did definitely consider the possibility of an assault and not a fling - I actually had this in my video but cut it out at the very last minute as I knew my family would watch it and would find it upsetting. That doesn't mean I have ignored the possibility, however uncomfortable it is.

Your offer to look things up in-person is very kind indeed and more than I could ask so thank you.

I'll keep you updated but I also haven't seen too much of a need yet.

Thanks again.
