How do I find out if I was adopted?
Simple Sam asked:
My parents have both passes away. My grandmother has mentioned something about my father not even meeting my mother until after I was born. I went to the local probate court, but did not find anything. The problem, is we moved around alot when I was really little, three different states. Any suggestions?

Why would a man have to go to probate court to be appointed guardian of his own two sons?
Donaldo asked:
I have a case from 1842 in Worcester, Mass. where a man went to probate court to appeal to a judge so he could be appointed guardian of his sons, ages 5 and 3. He and his wife had married before the oldest was born and had several children after these, so it’s not in dispute that he was their father. The oldest was even a junior. He had two sureties with him to guarantee the $1,000 bond. I have a copy of the record and it still doesn’t make sense.
