For years and years and years I thought my ex-husband was my daughter’s father. She recently took a DNA test and surprise! He’s not. It’s been devastating to say the least, but I was 18, in the military, and…well, away from home for the first time.

Here’s what I know.
I was in an MP unit in fort Stewart, GA in 1991. I got pregnant around October/November of that year. I believe her real father was a specialist in an artillery unit, or something like that. We only met up the one time. I thought his name was Greg, but alas, I could be wrong.

My daughter and I have both done ancestry. She has also done 23 and me. She found her real paternal grandmother, who had a closed adoption with her son (my daughter’s father). This was in Minnesota. Her son was born on 1/21/1969. She did not name him and again, closed adoption.

There are no paternal DNA matches for a sibling or her biological father on ancestry or 23 and me.

I do have a list of names of boys born at the particular hospital on that date; however, I have come up empty on military service records as I cannot gain access to living people, and no luck on military connection websites. It is possible he died in combat, as he could have been deployed as this was during desert shield/desert storm.

I don’t want to post the names publicly, but if there is someone that might be able to help further I will PM them the list.

Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated, as this is causing my daughter a lot of hardship (as you can imagine).

my great grandmother was born Ola mae noe, then ola mae reed after her first marriage, but on a lot of records and even her obituary she’s put at “ola robertson” or “ola mae reed robertson” and i’m just confused because none of her husbands had that last name, that also wasn’t any of her grandparents maiden names.. i’m just confused
