Needing Help
Hello, I'm not sure I'm at the right place but here goes… I was adopted at young age, I found documents with my birth mothers name (Virginia Lee Coleman), I spoke with her a few times before she passed. Based on her obituary I know her mother and father, but thats as far as I know how to go. Right now I have my adoptive parents on the tree, but if more information was located would really like to put my birth mother and father (if located). Any help or suggestions or if this isn't the correct place to post, could you direct me to the correct place. Thank you.

Hi @Doug5359.
If you enter the names of your birth mother and her parents, hopefully the system will give you some record hints so you can expand upon what you know. Newspapers are also a great source for family information, as you have already utilized. As for your birth father, you may want to consider taking a DNA test.
One resource that might help you is the Research Wiki: https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Main_Page
There's lots of information on pretty much every place in the world, complete with what record types are available and where you can access them.
There are also many different groups you can join that may help you find more specific information, especially for the location:
Posting here is fine too! We may need a little more information to help you further, though.
