    Looking for my biological father
    I am 40 and I really need help to try to find some information about my father. I don't expect anything from him I just want to meet him,and I don't blame him for anything. His name is James Edward McMullen, born in Massachusetts on July 25 1937. Which would make him 71. I think his mothers name was Betty White. When I was born in 1968 his address was 2637 Hawthorne Dr. Bettendorf, Iowa. He was married to Carol Diane Olson. I know where she is. If anybody knows where he is please let me know.

    Rather than possibly relaying false information to you. Do you have knowledge concerning any other children he may have fathered?

    I do know that my mom and him had my sister. If he has any others I am not aware of them. I have, nor has my sister or my mom had contact with him since I was just a baby in 1968.

    The only James Edward McMullen I found was in CA and he is 71 year old. I found this information at privateeye.com. The only thing is that they make you pay $2.95 for the report. Here it is for you to take a look PrivateEye.com | Instant People Search Results

    I used this site before and was helpful to me.

    Also, do you know if he is still married because if he is maybe you can do a search on the wife. You might be able to find him through her.

    That is exactly the same James Edward McMullen I have been researching. Unfortunately, the date of birth provided by "jimhockert" does not coincide with the date of birth listed for this individual.

    Sometimes a group effort does provide great results - other times people simply fly under the radar. "Gem" is good and if anyone can turn up info, it will be "Gem."

    I would be very careful of paid sites - they buy a lot of their info from survey companies, do not verify the info, simply print out what they gather and send it to you. Sometimes they are right; very often they are incorrect.

    If I am using a site I get starting points from the free info and go from there. Gives you a starting point in most cases but that's all.

    And everyone continues to search -

    That bit of information is very helpful because the James Edward McMullen I have been researching from California traced back to Chicago.

    Do you recognize any of these surnames?

    Beal, Brooks, English or Johnson ?

    Also, another important question. Do you know what his occupation might have been?

    He lived in Chicago and I believe he worked at a gas station. My sister was born in Weeling, Illinios. My mother said he worked for Good Humor Ice Cream at one point. Also, she said he has worked for a security guard company in Buffalo, Minnesota. My mother also said they had lived in St. Petersburg, Florida and Kentucky. She also said that he had three children previously to their marriage.

    My mother said that he spent a lot of time with a guy named Walter Beal. She did not recognize any of the other names.
