[font=Comic Sans MS]I am searching for my birthmother and/or any birthfamily members I may have. I was born at Winchester Memorial Hospital on January 14, 1965. I may have a couple half sisters and maybe a half brother with the last name of Duncan. My birth mother's name is Dorothy, and her maiden name may have been Carpenter. The only other info I have is that my birth parents last name was Funk at the time I was born.[/font]

Have you tried writing for your birth records? This would yield your birthmother's name, age and address at the time of your birth. Write a note as "Baby Funk" also as "first name funk" requesting any and all medical information pertaining to your birth to include, but not be limited to, labor, delivery, nursery, labs, radiology and discharge. Include that your birthmother's name was Dorothy Funk if you know that to be certain.

The hosptial medical records dept. will have a "release form" that you'll need to use. Go by and pick one up from the medical records office BUT ask your family doctor if you can have the records forwarded to his office so as to make the request as routine as possible. THEN MAIL the completed form to the medical records office. You will have to list "Baby Girl (or Boy) Funk" as the patient.
Going back forty years for birth records can be a stretch but I was able to get mine a couple of years ago, so it's always worth a try.
Good Luck!
