i want to find out about my fathers birth parents can any one help me?
my father is the youngest of five kids(well he was when he got adopted out) his father worked on the harbor bridge in wellington he was half maori half pakeha i think and his mother is a cook islander from raro his father pasted away before he was born which is the reason she had to adopt him out all i know is that his fathers last name was robinson and that his birth mother tried to get in contact by writing a letter which at that time he didn't want to read it.im interested in finding out about my heritage and the way of life that rarotongans live.i have a few close friends who are part raro and im forever asking questions about that culture.my father is now 47 and is a well educated man towards his job.he also is construction man like his father as well as many other trades that he has.if anyone knows these people that im writing about please write back.i hope that one day il get to met my fathers birth mum before it's to late.im 22 years of age and have 2 boys of my own it would be good to met up or chat with my dads birth mum.

Ask this question in the genealogy portion of Yahoo Answers. They can give you some good tips. Go to your local library or Mormon library and look in the genealogy section. The Mormons are well known for keeping extensive records and family trees and it has nothing to do with whether or not they were Mormon...it covers all faiths, cultures, etc. Many libraries can provide free access to the genealogy websites that you have to pay for and work closely with the local genealogy groups in town. Ask your librarian. Do a general search of genealogy sites online. There are many that can give you a lot of information for free. This should give you a good start. Good luck!
