so likely I'll never know then?
There's a good chance of finding out via DNA.

I have recently discovered an illegitimate child of one of my g/uncles!

It wasn't something I'd considered for many years but as a last attempt to find my 'adopted' brother it seemed the only other way as a possibility although I'm still living in hope but have found a few illegitimate relations along the way.
