How can I find my birth father?

February 20th, 2010 Leave a comment Go to comments

When I was 30 I found out my dad wasn’t my real father. I am desperate to find him but have no idea how to start. The Social Security Death index doesn’t list him as deceased and I have asked neighbors who knew him with no result as to his location now. He was a Lutheran minister in Cape Girardeau, MO from 1970 to 1973.(The church has no records.) He moved to Escanaba, Michigan after that, where he also was pastor. He was accused, but never convicted, of murdering his wife in 1975 or 76. He was investigated by the FBI. His name is William Dean Tabor. He was no longer allowed to serve as a minister after the murder. I am told he never served a day in jail. He was born in the state of Indiana on 3/2/1933. I know that for a time after the murder, he lived in Texas but dont know where. I know that I have at least 1 sister and 2 brothers. He got a masters in religion and a BS in psychology and business somewhere in Indiana. He speaks fluent German and Latin. Can anyone help me?

    Well 1st off since you his real name and DOB do yourself a favor & go to ussearch.com or intellius.com Both are very good people search websites. It can cost any where from approx. 29.99 to over a hundred dollars, but it all depends on how hard a search & what kind of info you desire. Research the people finder websites, choose them carefully, as a lot of them are out just for a buck. Thats why I listed those two sites – very trustworthy. You can search by name, age, criminal records, DMV records. social security number (if known) property records. You say he was investigated by the FBI, you can go to that site, http://www.FBI.gov, and maybe you can request any info available under the freedom of information act. I wish you well on this journey, be careful. And remember no matter how badly you feel you need to find this person – he may not want to be found,; by searching you may find his location, but he may not want to meet/talk with you. Dont take it personaly, everyone has to respect others wishes. And hey thats his loss if he doesnt. At least you tried.
    Good luck darling!
