Thanks for your help, Lewey. I think that I have decided to try and contact my 1/2 sibling - although not knowing that he has a 1/2 sibling poses its own unique challenges. i guess I feel more comfortable with a less direct route - and if I find my bfather to be living - I will just have to work up the courage to call or write.
However - that same friend of mine supplied me with some conflicing information. Apparrently there is a death registry for a man with my bfather's name and birthdate - but the report has several inconsitencies.
This now adds the wrinkle that my bfather may be deceased (something I guess I never considered) which brings a whole new chapter into this rapidly developing story.
Ohh the power of the unknown!!
