Surnames: Johnston Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/UUB.2ACE/3208 Message Board Post: My maternal grandfather was illegitimate, and his mother would not tell anyone in the family who his father was. How would I go about trying to find if the doctor or midwife who delivered him knew anything? His full name was Trady Tallon Johnston, he was born in Mecklenburg County, on Sept. 15, 1900. I'm trying to put together our family tree, and needless to say, that branch is rather short. Can anybody help? Thanks bunches!!
