My wife, Mary, born 3/11/45, was adopted. Recent access to her adoption records names a MELVIN WOOD(S) as her birth father. He apparently was not informed of the pregnancy or birth. Info on Melvin is limited assuming it was not a fabrication by birth mother (who will not talk to or have anything to do with Mary). Melvin was about 26 years of age in 1944 and supposedly was a barber in Billings, MT. Parents were farmers, possibly in Harlowton or Scobey area. He had 3 brothers and 2 sisters. We have exhausted all leads thus far. We are discouraged but still holding to the hope that this name is birth father's actual name and that we will find him. Any fresh leads will be apreciated.
