First, I have to say I hope that by trying to locate you that I do not cause any rifts in your current family/life.
I have always thought that perhaps we were in atendance at the same wake, I know horrible place to meet, but I remember sitting a few rows back and looking at your little girl thinking wow, that girl looks alot like my baby pictures! The wake would have been for your Uncle, if I am correct in my guess.
The birth father was I believe from the story I had been told, but then acted like nothing was ever said or speculated, he was 16 ish or so when either you got pregnant or I was born. I believe that due to your age, he was given one of 2 choices: Go to Jail, as you were not of the age of consent, or Enlist in the Army. If the latter is true, perhaps he spent some time in Germany and possibly ran into your cousin, with the same sur name as you.
I think your first name may be Jane, but I am not sure as I metioned with I called my Aunt to possibly confirm the stories that had been floating around the family (at least that side), for some reason she decided to play dumb. After talking to my Mom about her sister's unwillingness to even talk to me about this, my Mom said that Aunt Mary, always made sure to tell her if you had another child, and even pointed you out to my Mom at the wake I mentioned earlier.
The sur name I believe to be Woodworth.
I believe that you attended and graduated from Valparaiso High School in a class in the mid 70's as I was born in August 1971.
If you think this may be you, or you know in your heart that it is you, please contact me via email at indygurl3@gmail.com
I really would like to meet you and at least be able to see what you look like and any possible siblings, and to see a picture of my birth father.
Luana
