My name is Martin F. Ashton, and I am searching for my father, and my family history. All I need is a starting point, namely, my father.
The little information I have on the man is sketchy at best, and he may not even know I exist. Heck,
I may have brother(s) and/or sister(s) I know nothing about. I am definately bound to have family out
there that I know nothing about, and they know nothing about me, or do they?
Anyway, I hold no ill feelings toward my father for leaving, nor do I seek any financial retribution of any type.
I would just like to find out what he looks like, if he's still alive(he's presumed dead), and if I have any family out
there(and my ancestry). So, please help if you can. Who know's, you could be my brother/sister/cousin, etc.
My father's info(what little I know)
Name: Robert J.(presumed to be John) Ashton
born: between 1925 and 1940 somewhere in Virginia or Ohio(Virginia the most likely place), and possibly was adopted into
the family.
last known whereabouts and residence: Dayton, Ohio in 1969(frequented Louisville, KY.(where I was born in 1969)
Possibly of Irish descent(how my mother knows this I have know idea), and traveled a lot.
I realize that this is all very vague, but I figure someone will know something(hopefully), unless it's all untrue(which for all I know...).
I also realize that this isn't a missing persons/lost relative site, but I figure that is what I am trying to do, find the seed to plant my family
tree. And I would really love just to see a picture of him(never seen/talked to him). So, please help if you can, even if only the slightest bit.
Thanks much
Marty
