Gr8Dad's Search

THIS POST IS PREFACED WITH: NO BASHING PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!
Not seeing any point in beating Gr8Dad about the head for decisions he made 17 years ago, when in reality it's the mother's fault for not letting the father know, nor for evidently providing enough information TO find the father.
Sooooo.. maybe we can do collective good and maybe think of some "outside the box" search suggestions?
With a name that common, standard search engines, and even PAID search engines are going to be problematic. Just too many like-named people (I did a google search with the name, location and year and evidently some famous lawyer has at least that middle/last name).
Soooo, my "outside the box" thoughts are:
Reunion.com? Some straightforward and "sneaky" thoughts. 3 registrations. One for you, searching for daughter. One for daughter, searching for dad, one for your FIRST WIFE, searching for dad.
Craig's List. Missed Connections. Yeah, I'm one of those dopey people who reads Craig's List. Every once in a while there's a really GOOD post. Anyway, at least here on the LI page there's been numerous "looking for my child" postings in Missed Connections.
I'd try the upstate CL page AND, I looked up Corning and it's actually just a blip over the PA line. Might try putting postings on some of the PA pages as well.
This article was kinda interesting: http://www.freeprf.com/birth_parents.html
And it suggests Ancestry.com which you can do a 14 day trial on and I believe it gives you access to public records. I know I used it once to find an obituary and a death record and sure enough it was in there. I just cancelled it within the 14 day period.
That's all I can come up with at the moment. Maybe someone else will have better ideas than me. Think of it as a virtual brainstorming session.
NO BASHING PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This post is, TRULY, SOLELY intended for the purpose of maybe giving Gr8Dad some ideas or leads maybe he hasn't thought of yet.
