Hello,

My inquiry is largely being sent to any readers here so I can hopefully get some answers for my Father, Robert. He was born in Cincinnati, OH in September of 1959 and was put up for adoption by a woman who he claims goes/went by the name Lola Couch. He's pretty certain she was originally from Hazard, KY, but with the possibility of having resided/is residing in Tennessee or North Carolina somewhere. That is about the full extent of his knowledge behind his biological side.

If there is anyone who knows anything about this little fact and might be able to shed some light on what is for us some unknown history, it would be greatly appreciated.

Has your father done any DNA testing? He should do the yDNA test, at least 37 markers. He should also do the autosomal DNA test. http://www.familytreedna.com has some very good educational information about these tests. The autosomal test will help you find cousins on both sides of his family. The y-test will help only on the paternal side of the family. Both can be very helpful for adoptees.
