Sorry, Nikos - I should have been more specific...
I never knew my Father - I was born out-of-wedlock, and my Mother's parents threatened to "disown her" if she didn't "get rid of me."
Reportedly, she had a "fling" with the Principal of the school where she held her first teaching job, and when she found out she was pregnant,
and that he was married, she didn't tell him she was carrying his child.
She moved away, gave birth to me, left me with some strangers, and moved back home.
After 33 years, I "found" her and we established a relationship, but she refused to tell me anything about my father except his name and that she thinks he was from North Carolina.
She was afraid I would try to find him too, and she didn't want me to be hurt, if he rejected me or refused to accept that I was his daughter.
Sorry to hijack the thread - Maybe I shouldn't have posted anything in here in the first place.
