Surnames: Hamilton Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/EMB.2ACE/739 Message Board Post: It has recently come to my attention that my grandfather is not my grandfather at all. Instead my mother was born out of wedlock. My "real" grandfather and my grandmother were engaged but never married. My grandfather's name is/was J.C. Hamilton. We are not sure if the JC stands for something or not. He would be in his late 60's or early 70's. My mother was born in 1958. If you have any information about this man or his family please let us know. We really want to put this mystery to rest.
