Hey Nel, Thanks for your advice. In fact, Winnette beat me to the search! She sent a bunch of listings from whitepages.com.

Unless you have some names to work with, it's really hard to find living relatives. And it sounds like your dad was removed from his place of birth fairly young. I don't have any experience looking for the living so have only one idea. That would be to see if there are any Hatchers still living in the Orrville area (using a White Pages search) and just start calling with your fingers crossed. Anyone else have any suggestions?
